Trying
Embracing the Dance of Life: Trying Not to Try So Hard
Lyrics
Usually on a night like this I would sleep
Under usual circumstances, I'd be sleeping at this time.
But I'm wired on two shots of your smell and some coffee
However, I'm feeling alert due to the lingering scent of yours and some coffee.
There's something about this apartment and how we can't sleep on weekends
There's something about this place that disrupts our ability to sleep during weekends.
If it's alright, I'll stay for the night and we can burn our candle at both ends
If it's acceptable to you, I'd like to spend the night, experiencing life intensely with you.
I don't need saving
I'm not in need of rescue or salvation.
But you saved me anyway
Yet, despite that, you've had a profound positive impact on me.
Won't drown in the gin but I'll wade in the water carefully
I won't succumb to excessive drinking but will cautiously navigate emotional waters.
I'm trying not to try so hard
I'm attempting to avoid trying too hard in life.
I'm trying not to try so hard again
I'm making an effort to not overexert myself again.
And if you'll have me
If you're willing to accept me,
I'm trying not to try so hard
I'm striving to not put excessive effort into things.
I'm trying not to try so hard again
I'm aiming to avoid repeating the mistake of trying too hard.
Your eyes still flicker the same as they did when I met you
Your eyes still reflect the same emotions as they did when we first met.
Still the same little kid inside
You still possess the innocence and playfulness of youth.
We'd skip our class to spend all our money on breakfast
We used to skip classes to spend money on breakfast and engage in meaningful conversation.
Just to talk away our appetite
We'd sacrifice food to feed our desire for deep discussion.
I'm drunk off your skin but I'll wade through your heart so carefully
I'm intoxicated by your presence but I'll handle your emotions delicately.
I'm trying not to try so hard
Continuing efforts to not overexert myself in relationships or endeavors.
We'll be those kids when things get hard again
We'll revert to our youthful selves when faced with difficulties.
And if you'll have me
If you're open to it,
I'm trying not to try so hard
I'll continue striving to avoid excessive efforts or pressures.
I'm trying not to try so hard again
I'll persist in my attempt to not push too hard in situations.
