(Now That I'm) Tryin'

It's the color of dawn That gets me every time And it's no surprise That i finally feel alright And my face is warm And red as the day i's born Been cryin 'and flailing around For fucking 30 something years now It's that bruise blue that turns to orange A picture better never drawn it's easy to get lost in this pain, you know It's my own damn fault And I still feel high- There'll always be another hill to climb I want to call you mine As long as I can, so long as you don't mind My recklessness and the heaviness Of going for broke and then (maybe) ending up penniless Well, this unkept bed has seen inside my head And I'm losing sleep dreaming of being better, yeah Well, I wonder if the sun's as warm as your laughter When it's showing in the corners of your eyes But I think that you'll make it to wherever it is you're headin' And to be sure I got a car that'll make the drive It's the smell of a lawn Freshly cut and I'm holding on Feeling good until I see my flaws Getting high's good until the moment you fall Like a clear night sky With all the holes through which I see the light It's just another awful pretty song that I'll write That might make even Hank Williams cry, or maybe he'd smile...for a while. Well, I wonder if the sun's as warm as your laughter When it's showing in the corners of your eyes But I think that you'll make it to whereever it is you're headed And to be sure, I got a car that'll make the drive Well, what's left will be alright At least to get us by for the night You should see how bright she shines It's getting better now that I'm tryin' I don't think this'll ever die I could tell you, show you the reason why, alright
