I'd love to run away, I'd love to sail eleven seas

But every time you ask me why, I can't think why I'd leave

There's lots of things I'd love to do, and things I'd love to be

I've drilled that concept into you, the broken record's me

I wrote a song, you might have heard it earlier, it's steady

It's nothing new, a copy of a rehash, not quite Freddy

You've heard it all, there's not much I can add to the equation

It's all been written down in coffee shops

And old train stations

But I'm here to say

I love you in the most prolific way

You smile, I quake

That transcendental feeling's here to stay

I run, I hide

From thoughts that make me feel like this inside

I hate my mind

But you make me wanna fix it all the time

So I'll try

I'll really try

I'll really try

I'll really try

I'd love to find a way to simply neutralise my problems

But in this day and age there's no lobotomy to stop them

Running wild around my head, this pity party's never ending

I thought the guest of honour crown was meant to be a good thing

But there's a girl from far away who's teaching me the key

To making life more bearable and turning bitter sweet

Oh I've never really been the quickest learner in the pack

But she makes me smile, she makes me wanna find light in the black

So I'm here to say

I love you in the most prolific way

You smile, I quake

That transcendental feeling's here to stay

I run, I hide

From thoughts that make me feel like this inside

I hate my mind

But you make me wanna fix it all the time

So I'll try

I'll really try

Oh yeah, I'll try

I'll really try

Can't you see I'm trying

When I used to be crying

Can't you see I'm try, try, try, trying

When I used to be crying

I'll try
