They make it look so easy

it's hard to breathe through this pain in my chest
it's hard to think through this mental unrest
it's hard to see through these blinded eyes
it's hard to hear through the echoing sighs
it's hard to eat through a stomache in knots
it's hard to sleep through the unending thoughts
it's hard to stay focused through long distance and time
it's hard to keep writing through to that elusive rhyme
but with you
it's easy to see through the smoke and the screens
it's easy to be close through the distance in dreams
it's easy to hear your heart beat through to mine
it's easy to sleep through the tickle down my spine
it's easy to care through the doubts and dismay
and it's easy to smile through the dull of the day

and I wouldn't want it to be any other way
