this is me trying - the long pond studio sessions

[00:46.48] I've been having a hard time adjusting

[00:49.78] I had the shiniest wheels, now they're rusting

[00:53.54] I didn't know if you'd care if I came back

[00:57.03] I have a lot of regrets about that

[01:00.58] Pulled the car off the road to the lookout

[01:04.08] Could've followed my fears all the way down

[01:07.62] And maybe I don't quite know what to say

[01:10.87] But I'm here in your doorway

[01:12.87] I just wanted you to know

[01:16.12] That this is me trying

[01:20.12] I just wanted you to know

[01:22.62] That this is me trying

[01:43.12] They told me all of my cages were mental

[01:46.41] So I got wasted like all my potential

[01:49.94] And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad

[01:53.69] I have a lot of regrets about that

[01:56.94] I was so ahead of the curve, the curve became a sphere

[02:00.73] Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here

[02:04.47] Pourin' out my heart to a stranger

[02:07.26] But I didn't pour the whiskey

[02:09.31] I just wanted you to know

[02:12.36] That this is me trying

[02:16.11] I just wanted you to know

[02:19.61] That this is me trying

[02:23.87] At least I'm trying

[02:38.61] And it's hard to be at a party

[02:41.41] When I feel like an open wound

[02:43.66] It's hard to be anywhere these days

[02:45.40] When all I want is you

[02:46.93] You're a flashback in a film reel

[02:48.93] On the one screen in my town

[02:51.73] And I just wanted you to know

[02:55.00] That this is me trying

[02:58.31] I just wanted you to know

[03:02.06] That this is me trying

[03:06.06] At least I'm trying
