Artist: Lisa Loeb Album: The Way It Really Is (2004) Title: Try
Lyrics TryWhat’s the difference between you and me?
To me it’s kind of small, to you it’s like a prison
What’s the difference between you and me
To me it almost happens, to you it almost isn’t
How did you become so sure?
Your girlfriend never smiles, no one ever calls
You begin to wonder if they were your friends at all
You frown, you take a look around
You shout, this’ll never get better
But the doubt that you grow in your field is sprouting
Turning your field into into a deeper valley
You’d find
The mountains aren’t so high
If you’d only try
To do better
9:33 in the traffic at the stoplight
Somebody hits you, nothing ever goes right
In the gridlock, nothing ever goes right
But it’s just a little scratch, not a permanent scar
Just a tiny dent, you don’t need a new car
Just a little mess, your dreams aren’t shattered
You climb up while I hold the ladder
You’d find
The mountains aren’t so high
How many times I’ve tried, how many times I’ve missed and I’ve tried
How many times I’ve tried, how many times I’ve missed and I’ve tried
When everything’s so difficult, I feel so low
I find a better view on the other side of the window
So that’s the difference between you and me
What it you believed that the grass could grow
Up through the snow, it’s possible
You’d find
The mountains aren’t so high
If you’d only try
To do better than get by |
