Lyrics

Hard to Imagine

[Verse 1]

Paint a picture usin' only gray

Light your pillow, lay back, watch the flames

I'll tell a story, but no one would listen that long

[Chorus]

It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Tear into yourself, count days upon your arms

All the beatin' tickin' like a bomb

After havin' seen all that they saw

[Chorus]

It's hard to imagine, it's hard to imagine

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh

[Outro]

Things were different then, all is different now

I tried to explain, somehow

Things were different then, all is different now

I tried to explain, somehow

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Oh-oh-oh-oh

Things were different then, all is different now

I tried to explain, hope this works somehow

Things were different then, all is different now

I tried to explain, oh, somehow

Ooh-oh-oh

Ooh-oh-oh

(Ooh-oh-oh)

(Ooh-oh-oh-oh)
