Trying Again

[Verse 1]
To hell with all my hoping
It's a text I shouldn't send
It's a cigarette I'm smoking
With a firework at the end
It's the thought of the explosion
With every drag that I take
But maybe I'll feel something
Before it blows up in my face

[Chorus]
Trying again
'Cause at the end of the night all the lights are still on in my head
Should I surrender or fight? I'm just so sick and tired of pretend
Anticipating the end
Maybe what it is won't be what it's been
So I'm trying again, trying again

[Verse 2]
And I don't wanna be dependent
On a needle in my vein
Like a preacher on his pulpit
Like a harvest on the rain
And I don't know where my home is
But I do know where it's been
So here's to dreaming, here's to growing
Here's to trying again

[Chorus]
Trying again
'Cause at the end of the night all the lights are still on in my head
Should I surrender or fight? I'm just so sick and tired of pretend
Anticipating the end
Maybe what it is won't be what it's been
So I'm trying again, trying again

[Chorus]
Trying again
'Cause at the end of the night all the lights are still on in my head
Should I surrender or fight? I'm just so sick and tired of pretend
Anticipating the end
Maybe what it is won't be what it's been
So I'm trying again, trying again
Trying again, trying again
