Tryin' To Matter

I'm a lonely man with a lonely life

A full-time job and part-time wife

And the grindstone just goes on and on

You're a lonely girl that's a lonely wife

Gotta three bedroom and an empty life

And you're not quite sure

Just where it all went wrong

There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away

But there's a whole lot ridin' on this love so baby what's ya say

Let's give it one good shot

Let's really give it all we got

We can take it nice and slow

Baby don't you want to go back

Where we had a chance

And we danced our dance

In a world where a heart could never shatter

We might go down cryin'

But at least our love will die

Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter

We've come a long way so don't forget

let's don't throw our hands up yet

We've still got time

To change our mind

Honey let's give it our best tonight

If we still ain't got it right

We can always, always say goodbye

Somewhere I guess we let go, lost a little ground

One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around

Let's give it one good shot

Let's really give it all we got

We can take it nice and slow

Baby don't you want to go back

Where we had a chance

And we danced our dance

In a world where a heart could never shatter

We might go down cryin'

But at least our love will die

Tryin' to matter

We might go down cryin'

At least our love will die

Tryin' to matter, tryin' to matter
