Why Even Try Lyrics
[Verse 1: Jake]
When I forgot you, you came to mind
Every trouble, back in your eyes and
It's all cyclical, so why even try?
Why even try to change?
[Verse 2: Jake]
You're yourself way more than I am
Being friends was in the palm of my hand
But I let it fall and break, so why even try?
Why even try to mend?
[Chorus: Jake]
On and on
The feelings burst and then they fall
Until later on
We walk it back and patch things up
On and on
The feelings burst and then they fall
Until later on
We walk it back and patch things up
[Verse 3: Jake]
Soon it will all disappear
Maybe I will miss your voice in my ear
But I can't go back now, so why even try?
Why even try to hear?
[Bridge: Nathan]
No more us
No more we
No more you
No more me
[Chorus: Jake & Nathan]
On and on (No more us)
The feelings burst and then they fall (No more we)
Until later on (No more you)
We walk it back and patch things up (No more me)
On and on (No more us)
The feelings burst and then they fall (No more we)
'Til later on (No more you)
We walk it back and patch things up (No more me)
On and on (No more us)
The feelings burst and then they fall (No more we)
'Til later on (No more you)
We walk it back and patch things up (No more me)
[Outro]
When I forgot you, you came to mind
Every trouble, back in your eyes and
I can't go back now, so why even try?
You can't go back now, so why even try?
No, we can't go back now, so why even try?
Why even try to change?

What did Hippo Campus say about "Why Even Try"?
(“Why Even Try”) was an earlier demo I had. It was a very honest, sitting down, telling it like it is kind of narrative on this relationship that had gone wrong in my life. The feeling of not knowing what to do, like “what’s the point if this just keeps happening?” Again, that theme of relationship...
What was the writing process for the track?
“Why Even Try” deals with a damaged relationship and the cyclical nature of our feelings. Nathan brought in this tune right before our sessions at Electrical Audio. We initially had trouble wrangling it for a full band. BJ helped us work through rewriting the chorus, which opened up a whole new spac...
How does Zach feel when the band plays this song live?
In a June 2019 Q&A session, Zach remarked:
It’s pretty depressing. I don’t know. The lyrics are really self-loathing. Whenever we play those songs, or at least when I play those songs, I get into a headspace and I think about why we wrote that song. “Why Even Try” is pretty depressing, but I th...
