this is me trying - the long pond studio sessions

I've been having a hard time adjusting I had the shiniest wheels

Now they're rusting

I didn't know if you'd care if I came back I have a lot of regrets about that

Pulled the car off the road to the lookout

Could've followed my fears all the way down

And maybe I don't quite know what to say

But I'm here in your doorway

I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

They told me all of my cages were mental

So I got wasted like all my potential

And my words shoot to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that

I was so ahead of the curve

The curve became a sphere

Fell behind all my classmates and I ended up here

Pouring out my heart to a stranger

But I didn't pour the whiskey

I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

At least I'm trying

And it's hard to be at a party

When I feel like an open wound

It's hard to be anywhere these days

When all I want is you

You're a flashback in a film ree

On the one screen in my town

And I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

I just wanted you to know that this is me trying

At least I'm trying
