Looking out and it's getting light
Writing words from left to right
But I try, but I try
Just a little too hard

I see a girl and she looks my way
I say to her: Do you wanna stay?

But I try, but I try
Just a little too hard

My, my, I've gotta take it easy
Like the doctor said
My head can think of Britain
Running through my head
My, my, I've gotta stop my pushing
I'm going round and round
Take a breath and recognize my feelings
I've gotta slow it down

I work my fingers down to the bone
Try to work it all night long

But I try, but I try
Just a little too hard

My, my, I've gotta take it easy
Like the doctor said
My head can think of Britain
Running through my head
My, my, I've gotta stop my pushing
I'm going round and round
Take a breath and recognize my feelings
I've gotta slow it down

I work my fingers down to the bone
Try to work it all night long

But I try, but I try
Just a little too hard
But I try, but I try
Just a little too hard
But I try, but I try
Just a little too hard
