O love is never easy It's almost always out of your way It's not the path of least resistance It's not some words you get to say It's a stream running up a mountain It's a wave rolling out from the shore Wish I could say I never felt that way before I have a friend who's lonely She is chasing after her dreams And she is the one and only One who knows how hard it could be There's a treasure on her island Buried in the city of news Wish I could say we didn't have that much to lose Yeh one friend tried to end it He could not see the good in his life In his mirror or his pocket And his hopes had come down like a knife It's a stream running up a mountain It's a wave rolling out from the shore Wish I could say I never felt that way before There's a treasure on these islands
