Switchfoot - ⁠the hard way lyrics

Oh, my head Lately my eyes have been bloodshot red I'm looking for somewhere to hide Could you tell me where I needed to go? Oh, my head Lately all my thoughts are arriving dead I drift where the sea meets the sky Could you tell me what I needed to know, oh? Maybe I always learn things the hard way I learn best from my mistakes The road I took was the wrong one It all works in the long run Maybe there's no such thing as a rewind There's no way to go back in time I learn best from the replay I always learn things the hard way Words were said Now even the pain wants peace instead I bury my thoughts in the tide Could you told me where I needed to go? Echoes of the truths and the lies we said The ocean, the mirror of the sky Tell me everything I needed to know Oh, maybe I can't keep blaming it all on luck When I complain, then I self-destruct Maybe it's me with the problems Stuck looking at trying to solve them Maybe there's no such thing as a rewind There's no way to go back in time I learn best from the replay I learn things the hard way 'Cause maybe the learning comes from the mistake There's no beauty without pain No one said it would be easy We can't undo the things we said Even if I could, would you believe me? No one said it would be easy Maybe the song we sang was just out of time Maybe we could give it one more try One more try Yeah, yeah Oh, maybe the small violin and the tissue Hoping to put it behind me and kiss you Hoping to put it behind me and kiss you Singing along to chorus of "fix you" All along it was me with the issues Maybe there's no such thing as an easy fix In love and war, in politics Maybe it's time that I dealt with this Finally love takes the hard way (Maybe there's no such thing) As the free road (Maybe there's no such thing) As the free road (Maybe there's no such thing) As a rewind (Maybe there's no such thing) I know why you walked away (Maybe there's no such thing) As a quick fix (Maybe there's no such thing) But I don't wanna live like this (Maybe there's no such thing) I always learn things the hard way
