First Try
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.
Can't run fast enough
Can't hide I can't fly
I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't hear what you say
Can't see by the light
I'm struggling with the limits of this ordinary life
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
I'm just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't say what I mean
Can't love from the heart
Can't trust in the mercy and the goodness in the world
Can't learn to accept that it's alright
To struggle with the limits of this ordinary life
Can't be
Just a
Just a
Just a first try
Can't be
Just a
Just a
Just a first try
Just a
Just a
Just a first try
