I Tried

I died your arms last night.

I love that song.

It's got passion and it's not too long.

It's also got cheese

and I am lactose intolerant.

I feel like I get gas when I try to follow it.

I feel like the 80's was about being lost.

So when I got to the 90's

I didn't know where the fuck I was.

I tried being a hippy without a cause.

I tried playing drums and smoking a bunch of pot.

I tried ignoring responsibility

and tripping a lot.

I tried growing my hair out

to hide my face.

But it's so curly that didn't really take place.

I tried living with my dad

because I was down on my luck.

Amish country...between highway WTF

and rural route whatever-the-fuck.

I tried going to school

but even the girl couldn't get me to care.

I tried to be here

but I just kept ending up over there.

I tried plunging down

but my family just wouldn't let me fall.

I tried to score goals

without ever touching the ball.

I tried convince her

I was ready to be a dad.

But after the miscarriage

I wasn't really sad.

I tried to hold on to love

that was already dust in the air.

It's hard to realize

that with women, you're never really playing fair.

There are many ways to fail.

Trust me I have tried a slew.

Now I stand here, tired,

trying to succeed with you.

I am a simple creature.

Just don't let the music die.

It's the only thing that helps me

quiet the judge inside.
