Unsteady days
I've got a lot on my spinning plates
Trying to be a better man
But I'd settle for better mess
Got good intentions, just dunno where I left them
Making new mistakes to learn the same old lessons
The other day, I helped my mum out with some money
I said I wished it was more, said I wish I did better
She pushed my hands aside, "Forget that one, my son, are you're happy?"
My spirit is a moment of silence, I tell her I'm trying
The odds are hardly in my favour, still
Sometimes, all you can do is try
Alright? I'm saying
Sometimes, all you can do is try
And that'll have to be alright
I promise it'll be alright
I promise it'll be
I promise it will be, oh
We wear the tightest G's
'Til we fell out over vaccines
Straight banger now somber ballad
Us divided is sad mathematics
Made attempts to patch things up but
We men are like matchsticks
He move mad I'd match it
'Til his name tasted of ashes
Then I heard from around the way
His mums in her final days
Tried my best to show face
Bridges burned left no way
This can't be the end tho
We'd been friends since the first Nintendo
Sad song, no crescendo
I guess that's how it goes
Sometimes, all you can do is try
Alright? I'm saying
Sometimes, all you can do is try
And that'll have to be alright
I promise it'll be alright
I promise it'll be
I promise it'll be, oh
A song for the days when I'm less than elegant
Don't even mentioning excellence
Most days I'm far from a Phoenix
I'm just laying in the ash with my dumb feelings
All you can do is try
Maybe the seas will part, or maybe the wheels will stay on the cart a little longer
Maybe the Raindance brings the thunder, still
Clear head, full heart, some days are rough
My best swing gonna be enough
I have to believe that (all you can do is try)
Sometimes, all you can do is try
Alright? I'm saying (all you can do is try)
Sometimes, all you can do is try
And that will have to be alright
I promise it'll be alright
I promise it'll be
I promise it'll be
