The Hardest Hill

[Verse 1]
He passes by, you catch his eye
He tilts his head and smiles
And just like that, he strips away your half-hearted denial
He turns to go, and you don't know if it was even real
But how on earth can you explain this uneasiness you feel?

[Pre-Chorus]
Maybe some primal recognition, baby
Maybe some signal from the sky

[Chorus]
Tell me why is falling in love so easy
But staying in love gets harder all the time?
Why is falling in love so easy
But holding onto love is the hardest hill to climb?

[Verse 2]
You oversleep
And so you keep her waiting for an hour
Used to charm your way out of this
But lately, you've lost that power
The silence stings
You think of things you know you shouldn't say
You reach across the table, but she pulls her hand away

[Pre-Chorus]
How did you get in this position, baby?
How can you get those tears to dry?

[Chorus]
Tell me why is falling in love so easy
But staying in love gets harder all the time?
Tell me, why is falling in love so easy
But holding onto love is the hardest hill to climb?

[Bridge]
Why, when we know how it's all gonna go
Do we still find a way to justify?
Why?

[Pre-Chorus]
Hiding inside the heart of each hello, baby
Is the beginning of goodbye
Goodbye

[Chorus]
Tell me why is falling in love so easy
But staying in love gets harder
It's harder all the time?
Tell me, why is falling in love so easy
But holding onto love
It's the hardest hill to climb?
Tell me why, why is falling in love so easy
But staying in love gets harder
Gets harder all the time?
Tell me, why is falling in love so easy
But holding onto love
Holding onto love
It's the hardest hill
The hardest hill to climb?

Tell me, baby
Mmm...
