Try Try Try

My father's ghost behind us

And my brother's further south

We took the early evening bus

Back to my Mother's house

Honey, you can take my bed

I'll stay here on the couch

These winter leaves will blanket all our doubts

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ohh-ooh ahh-ahh

I know your heart is heavy

With the weight of all of this

Take a hit here from my flask, baby

We'll drown out every bit

It used to be so easy

Oh we know this much is true

Now this fucking mess we're in

What could I do?

The glimmering neon lights on glistened streets that gather in dark

The slow and stiltered stillness of my ever drifting heart

Well darling, if you'd only stay I promise that I'd stop

You're burning down each bridge, each bridge I wish to cross

If we try, try, try

Your bruised and blackened eyes will come alive and light again

So you push and you shove

And it all goes unseen

Yeah, you're fighting off a landslide

Slowly rushing to the sea

And you're tied to a brick

With cement stuck in your shoes

My floundered fishing boat has sank

And I'm reaching for the shore, and you...

If you could only give me time

Maybe ease my spinning head

There's these things I'm trying to deal with

Probably better left unsaid

Oh just come sit here by me, baby

Let the smoke clear all around

On the trail we left behind us

Burying secrets in the ground

And singing oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...

Love is the soil unsettled by these stories as you leave

It's the nagging sense of infancy, pulling at your sleeve

It's the ghostly voice blowing through the window

Breathless in the blue

Oh, love is the only certainty

And it's here in front of you

Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh, ohh-ooh ahh-ahh
