Trying Lyrics by That Guy

Freshmen

2013

[Verse 1]

Left home
Looking for a change
Yelled so long
To the bitter and the strange
To this new town
Looking out for a new face
Just to find out that everything's the same
Everything's the same down here

[Pre-Chorus 1]

So back in the car again
Maybe we can drive away from all the problems we are in
But we can't ignore the facts
No matter how hard we try we always find ourselves still coming back
What's to make of that
Mom tell me what's to make of that
She says

[Chorus 1]

"Baby life gets hard
I know everything's different
I don't have all the answers
I'm sorry about my crying
But I'm doing all I can
Hell nobody is perfect
Just give it some more time
Baby I am trying"

[Verse 2]

So we spent
What time we had alone
And as time went
Learned to appreciate our built home
As it slipped away
Towards decimals and facts
And now's it's own place
That's never coming back
Everything "never comes back" down here

[Pre-Chorus 2]

So back through these doors again
Leading to another night
We have to fight
In the kitchen
Kayla says "It's not that bad
These things are never quite as worse as they could be once they're already had"
But does it have to be like that
Mom tell me does it have to be like that

[Chorus 2]

She said "baby life gets hard
I know everything's different
I don't have all the answers
I'm sorry about my crying
But I'm doing all I can
Hell nobody is perfect
Just give it some more time
Baby I am trying"

[Bridge]

Looking at hope from the bottom of a pit
We found change nobody said we're gonna like it
In the land of opportunity
When there's a world to see
And a variety
Of several others deserving of their anxiety
And as for me
I'm fine

[instrumental]

But...
