Try Hard
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She's dropping out of 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
And she’s 17
I told her I’m 20
I couldn’t take her out
‘Cause mom'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 gettin' me down
That she makes me think
Makes me think
That I try
That I try
That I’m trying too hard again
'Cause 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 gettin’ 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 at my show
Nothin’ to lose
She’s standing right in the front row
The perfect view
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 gettin’ 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
