Lyrics

[Verse 1]

All I know

Is everything is not as it's sold

But the more I grow, the less I know

And I have lived so many lives

Though I'm not old

And the more I see, the less I grow

The fewer the seeds, the more I sow

[Verse 2]

Then I see you standing there

Wanting more from me

And all I can do is try

Then I see you standing there

Wanting more from me

And all I can do is try

[Verse 3]

Try

[Verse 4]

I wish I hadn't seen, all of the realness

And all the real people, are really not real at all

The more I learn, the more I learn

The more I cry, the more I cry

As I say goodbye to a way of life

I thought I had designed for me

[Verse 5]

Then I see you standing there

Wanting more from me

And all I can do is try

And I see you standing there

I'm all I'll ever be

But all I can do is try

Oh, try, try, try

[Verse 6]

All of the moments that already passed (Already passed)

We'll try to go back and make them last (Make them last)

All of the things we want each other to be (Each other to be)

We never will be, we never will be

And that's wonderful, and that's life

That's you baby

This is me, baby

We are, we are, we are, we are, we are, we are

Free

In our love

We are, free, in our love

Try
