Kid, Please Try Harder

It doesn't exist -

You live in regret

I remember the kiss when we first met

I remember the sting

As you finished me off -

And I remember my face when you stopped -

And said

Kid, please try harder while you can

'Cos I'm so tired of it all

With no command.

And I said

Please try harder while you can

I'm now required by love

To be in command.

You're stuck here with me

And I'm stuck here with you

We'll walk through it all -

Like we used to.

And the things you'd forget

When we live without fear

Ill broke on the road -

And I'll be here, singing

Kid, please try harder while you can

'Cos I'm so tired of it all

And all your plans.

Can you please try harder while you can

I'm now required by love

To hold your hands.

You've been flashing white light

From the palms on your hands

You were ready to fight -

Or to land.

You're so easily led

You didn't know how to dance

So that's all you want

From romance.

(Well then, Kid)

Please try harder while you can

'Cos I'm so tired of a love

With all your plans

I said

Please try harder while you can

I'm now required by the law

To hold your hand.

(Can you try?)

(C'mon, try)

(C'mon, try)

(Can we try?)

(Could you try?)

Could you try?

You were flashing white light

From the palms of your hands

You were ready to fight -

Or to land.

You're so easily led

You didn't know how to dance

But if that's all you want

If this is all you want -

From romance.
