Treasure islands

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 the mountain
It's a wave rolling out from the shore
I 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 will be

There's treasure on her island
Buried in this city of news
I wish I could say we didn't
Have that much to lose

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 life a knife

There's treasure on his island
Buried in this city of dues
I wish I could say we didn't
Have that much to lose

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
