I Try Lyrics

Waking slowly, wishing hard

Walking down the boulevard

Just this morning

I could see the way things change

Just this morning I could see

The things you wanted me to be

And I wonder as I walk

Have you let them go

I find a piece of paper

Tucked into my winter coat

It tells me nothing and I

Still don't know where to go

Still don't know where to go

So I wait for a sign

Oh in my floorboards in my coffee in the sky

Oh I

Don't know what I'm try to find

Oh I

I'm never satisfied though I try

I reach the corner

All the streets are paved with gold

I never understood how children grow old

How can we grow old

When childhood never goes away

Do I see it in the mirror every day

I steeped my head in feelings

Just to see if I was wrong

And it seems in hindsight

That I left it in too long

I left it in too long and now it's

Bitter to the taste

And I just gave up but I can't

Say it to your face

Oh I

Don't know what I'm try to find

Oh I

I'm never satisfied

Oh I

I colored outside the lines

Oh I

I'm never satisfied though I try

In my hand I carry

Every dream I've ever had

Oh and I never meant for it to get this bad

Oh it's been really bad but oh I

Don't know where to start

And more than that

Know I don't want to break your heart

It's funny now, but back then

I thought it would be smooth

And every day it's harder not to say the truth

It's hard to say the truth so I say

Nothing and in my mind

Oh I'm still waiting

In the meantime I feel fine

Oh I

Don't know what I'm try to find

Oh I

I'm never satisfied

Oh I

I colored outside the lines

Oh I

I'm never satisfied though I try
