Try Hard

One, two, three, four

I'm trying too hard again

She's dropping outta school 'cause she don't need the grades

The colors in her hair don't seem to fade

I get dressed up when I go out, but she gets dressed down

She's 17, I told her I'm 20

I couldn't take her out 'cause mum's got no money

It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow

Sitting here at home

It's obvious, she's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard

'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel

Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard

'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down

That she makes me think, makes me think

That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered

I play guitar but she's into drummers

She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name

I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool

I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school

I followed her around the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now

Sitting here at home

It's obvious, she's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard

'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel

Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard

'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down

That she makes me think, makes me think

That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

But now, who knew?

That she's in the crowd of my show

Nothing to lose, she's standing right in the front row

The perfect view, 'cause she came along on her own

And there's something that you should know

You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard

'Cause you make me feel, you make me feel

Yeah, she makes me feel, she makes me feel

It's obvious, she's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard

'Cause she makes me feel, makes me feel

Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard

'Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down

That she makes me think, makes me think

That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

And again, and again, and again, and again

'Cause I'm trying too hard again

And again, and again, and again, and again

'Cause I'm trying too hard again
