Still Here Trying

Sanoitukset

[Intro] Grand plans on a paper plate Kick drum counting down my fate [Verse 1] The rent is due, the bus is late I missed the call that changed my date The ladder leans against the wall I climb two rungs, then lose them all [Pre-Chorus] I push until my hands are sore Some doors don’t open, that’s the score [Verse 2] My brother made the evening news I’m still patching up these shoes They said, “Keep going, you’ll get there soon” But soon keeps changing every June [Pre-Chorus] I push until my hands are sore Some doors don’t open, that’s the score [Chorus] This is impossible, I know it too well A mile uphill with a stone for a shell Some get the finish, some never get through I’m still here trying, what else can I do? [Verse 3] The last train groans beyond the gate The hiring sign says “come back late” I fold the letter, smooth the crease A little less hope, a little more peace [Pre-Chorus] I push until my hands are sore Some doors don’t open, that’s the score [Chorus] This is impossible, I know it too well A mile uphill with a stone for a shell Some get the finish, some never get through I’m still here trying, what else can I do? [Bridge] No tidy lesson, no golden key The world won’t owe you victory If all I win is one more day That’s mine to keep, that’s mine to say [Guitar Solo] [Pre-Chorus] I push until my hands are sore Some doors don’t open, that’s the score [Down Chorus] This is impossible, I know it too well A mile uphill with a stone for a shell Some get the finish, some never get through I’m still here trying, what else can I do? [Outro] This is impossible I’m still here trying This is impossible Still trying
