Try Hard

She's dropping out of school cause she don't need the grade,
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade,
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down
She's 17 I've told her I'm 20,
I couldn't take her out cause Mom's got no money,
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
Sitting here at home, it's obvious
[Chorus]
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered,
I play guitar but she's into drummers,
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool,
I ripped my jeans and I dropped out of school,
I followed her around the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now
Sitting here at home, it's obvious
[Chorus]
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
But now, who knew?
She's in the crowd of my show
Nothing to lose,
She's standing right in the front row
The perfect view,
She came along after all,
But here's something that you should know
You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Yeah she makes me feel, makes me feel
[Chorus]
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
The colors in her hair don't seem to fade,
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down
She's 17 I've told her I'm 20,
I couldn't take her out cause Mom's got no money,
It's stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
Sitting here at home, it's obvious
[Chorus]
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered,
I play guitar but she's into drummers,
She's seen my face around but she doesn't even know my name
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool,
I ripped my jeans and I dropped out of school,
I followed her around the town but she thinks that I'm a weirdo now
Sitting here at home, it's obvious
[Chorus]
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
But now, who knew?
She's in the crowd of my show
Nothing to lose,

You're so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Yeah she makes me feel, makes me feel
[Chorus]
She's so out of reach, and I'm finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard,
Cause I'm not being me, and it's getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
Cause I'm trying too hard again
