Trying Your Luck - The Strokes

There'll be another 7 a.m., I'm sorry Wishing I could take back what I said As sure as right now, I've got a heartbeat I know I'll let you down again I wanna be the man you need I ain't made it up the mountain, but I'm climbing Still got some miles to go, but hell, I'm driving Ain't conquered all my demons, but I'm fighting I might never love you right, but I'll die trying And I'd love to say, I won't get jealous And that the past is back in my rearview But I know me too well, try to lie to you or myself, so If you wanna know the truth I ain't made it up the mountain, but I'm climbing Still got some miles to go, but hell, I'm driving Ain't conquered all my demons, but I'm fighting I might never love you right, but I'll die trying Yeah, I'll be trying to deserve your heart of gold 'Til I get there, or the good Lord calls me home I ain't made it up the mountain, but I'm climbing Still got some miles to go, but hell, I'm driving Ain't conquered all my demons, but I'm fighting I might never love you right, but I'll die trying Might never love you right, but I'll die trying

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 on 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 reel on the one screen in my town And I just wanted you to know That this is me trying (And maybe I don't quite know what to say) I just wanted you to know That this is me trying At least I'm trying
