High School

We all grow up, we all mess around
We all smile and we all frown
We all try so hard

We all get high, we all get low
Sometimes we all feel like there's nowhere to go
And we still try so hard

Some of us are good and some are not
Some sneak around and some get caught
But we still try so hard

We're not the same but sometimes we are
We all wanna go, we all wanna go far
We just try so hard

We try so hard to find our place
We get too close, then we need our space
It's what we do, it's what we say
That really is the only way
We try and try and try and try
We think it all through
Then we question why
It's what we say, it's what we do
That's how it is for me
Is it the same for you?

We all wanna win, we wanna be on top
We hold it all in until we go pop
But we still try so hard

We get confused, we stay up too late
We don't tell the truth, we don't communicate
We keep on trying so hard

We try so hard to find our place
We get too close, then we need our space
It's what we do, it's what we say
There really is no other way
We try and try and try and try
We think it all through
Then we question why
It's what we say, it's what we do
That's how it is for me
Is it the same for you?

All we want is to belong
Maybe that's why I'm singing this song
We get lost then we look around
We beg and plead until we're found

The journey of life will take a while
Gotta keep our heads up, we gotta smile
Take it step by step, take it day by day
And someday soon it'll be okay

But we try so hard to find our place
We get too close, then we need our space
It's what we do, it's what we say
It's what we go through day by day
We try and try and try and try
We think it all through
Then we question why
It's what we say, it's what we do
That's how it is for me
Is it the same for you?

We try too hard
High school, it's got me scarred
We still try too hard
It's how we live
It's just who we are
We try so hard
