This song is the demo of the song “Trying Your Luck” which is on The Strokes' blockbuster album.
On this track, Casablancas discusses his romantic ventures with a woman he has strong feelings for, and how he is willing to leave it all on the line to try and get her. Same meaning as the song that is...
They've stolen all the words
All I have to give
(Was this it?)
Believed in all my lies
Under my good cane
(It's my skin)
Your shepherd there I was
Decided just to give it all
(Instead of)
Days where you don't end
At night we become friends, again
And I lost my way again
(This is, this is a chance)
And I hope you'll never change
This life is on my side
And I am your one
Believe me this is your chance, oh
Surrounded there I was
Decided just to give it all
(For you, girl)
And days like you don't end
At night we become friends, again
And I lost my way again
(This is, this is the chance)
And I hope you'll never change
This life is on my side
'Cause I am your one
(This is, this is for you)
And I lost my way again
This Life was written by Julian Casablancas.
