Let's Give This Love A Try

Sometimes I don't like

being where I am

No matter what

I'd rather be

in a barrel of kosher salt

and pickle brine

With a thousand paper cuts

I'm uncomfortable

in my own skin you might say

Feeling my own guts

So tell me something

about yourself sweetheart

Before I screw

this whole thing up

You say you feel

like a phony romancer

Though you

still believe in love

Make you feel like a dancer

Like you got all the answers

Leave you wonderin'

what you were made of

You don't see no chain mail

hiding puppy dog tails

I've been sufficiently horrified

I got just enough left

to wanna see what's next

Why don't we give this love a try

Let's give this love a try

All we can do is cry

Hang out your tears to dry

Let's try this love

Let's give this love a try

The sun's setting in your eyes

I'm all out of when and why

Let's try this love

I never met two people

more likely to explode

Scattered, chopped, screwed,

covered up

and smothered

into each other arms

Please forgive me

my basic negativity

God help us both

if you find it

even part of my charm

By the way

you swept me off my feet

With the gentleness

of an angel flying by

I'm a long shot baby,

but they do come in

Why don't we give

this love a try

Let's give this love a try

All we can do is cry

Hang out your tears to dry

Let's try this love

Let's give this love a try

The sun's setting in your eyes

I'm all out of when and why

Let's try this love

I'm all out of when and why

Let's try this love
