Fresh 23, picking on a six string
Just a boy on a couch with his hand on my knee
Got a friendship that we don't wanna risk
But we can't stop thinking what if
So we're trying
We're trying to make it work
Took us six months to say three words
Getting it wrong more times than we get right yeah
Kissing more than we sleep
Even on the nights we wanna leave
Nobody goes 'cause we both know when we're fighting
We're trying
New 28, making plans, saving dates
Get surprised by the ring on my hand everyday
Asking if we're old enough
When did we get so grown up?
We're trying to build a life
That ain't just paying bills on time
It takes a whole lotta rough for a little diamond
Eating cheap dinners on paper plates
Getting used to a new last name
Learning sometimes vows need a little rewriting
We're trying
Now we're tossing out names, got a list that we save
For when it ain't just us someday
We're trying to rush the clock
Both sitting scared on the side of the tub
Praying for news that'll change the rest of our lives
You wrap your arms 'round me
Tell me you're ready for anything
"Baby do you see that second line?"
Yeah we're trying
