What's the difference between you and me
To me it's kind of 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'll never get better

But the doubt that you grow
In your field is sprouting
Turning your field into a deeper valley

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

To do better

It's 9:33 in the traffic, the stoplight
Somebody hits you
Nothing ever goes right
And 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'll find)
The mountains aren't so high
(The mountains aren't so high)
If you'd only try
(OooOooOooh)

But 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 believed that the grass could grow
Up through the snow
It's possible

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

You'd 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

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