What's the difference between you and me?
To me it's kind of small,
But 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,
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'll never get better.

But the doubt that you grow
When you feel disprouted
Turning your fields into a deeper valley.

You find (I know you'll find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try
To do better

It's nine thirty-three and the traffic, a 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 find (I know you'll find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
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

When everything's so difficult
I feel so alone,
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 believe the grass could grow,
Up through the snow?
It's possible.

You find (I know you'll 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 find (I know you'll find)
The mountains aren't so high (The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try (Try)
To do better

You find (I know you'll 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
