What's the difference between you and me?
To me, it's kinda small
To you, it's like a prison
What's the difference between you and me?
To me, it almost happens
To you, it almost isn't
How did you become so sure?
Your girlfriend never smiles
And no one ever calls
You begin to wonder
If they were your friends at all
You frown, you take a look around
You shout, "This will never get better"
But the doubt that you grow
When your field is sprouting
Turning your field into a deeper valley
You'd find (I know you'd find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try to do better
It's 9:33 in the traffic
At the stoplight, somebody hits you
Nothing ever goes right in the gridlock
Nothing ever goes right
But it's just a little scratch
Not a permanent scar
It's just a tiny dent
You don't need a new car
It's just a little mess
Your dreams aren't shattered
You climb up while I hold the ladder
You'd find (I know you'd find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
Oh, how many times I've tried
How many times I've missed and I've tried
How many times I've tried
How many times I've missed and I've tried
(How many times I've missed and I've tried)
When everything's so difficult
I feel so low
But I find a better view
On the other side of the window
So that's the difference between you and me
What if you believed
That the grass could grow
Up through the snow?
It's possible
You'd find (I know you'd find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try to do better than get by
You'd find (I know you'd find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try (Try) to do better
You'd find (I know you'd find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try to do better than get by
To do better than get by
