Barely Trying
Sometimes I don't understand
What breaks the boy and makes the man
Oh well I'm barely trying, I'm barely trying
I don't wanna go away
You started a riot, you started a riot
Come on out and save the day
Come on
Son, they say you can't just wait
You've got to get a job before it's too late
Yeah well I'm barely trying, I'm barely trying
Things don't seem to go my way
You started a riot, you started a riot
Come on out and save the day
Come on
And it's just like magic
When you act so tragic
Like the weight of the world has been placed on your shoulders
Well no one expects you to like getting older
No, it's uncertain
When they close the curtains
If you rise to the sky like a helium balloon
Or just remain in the earth and help daffodils bloom
Go!
And it's just like magic
When you act so tragic
Like the weight of the world has been placed on your shoulders
Well no one expects you to like getting older
No, cause it's uncertain
When they close the curtains
If you rise to the sky like a helium balloon
Or just remain in the earth and help daffodils bloom
I guess we'll find out soon
What breaks the boy and makes the man
Oh well I'm barely trying, I'm barely trying
I don't wanna go away
You started a riot, you started a riot
Come on out and save the day
Come on
Son, they say you can't just wait
You've got to get a job before it's too late
Yeah well I'm barely trying, I'm barely trying
Things don't seem to go my way
You started a riot, you started a riot
Come on out and save the day
Come on
And it's just like magic
When you act so tragic
Like the weight of the world has been placed on your shoulders
Well no one expects you to like getting older
No, it's uncertain
When they close the curtains
If you rise to the sky like a helium balloon
Or just remain in the earth and help daffodils bloom
Go!
And it's just like magic
When you act so tragic
Like the weight of the world has been placed on your shoulders
Well no one expects you to like getting older
No, cause it's uncertain
When they close the curtains
If you rise to the sky like a helium balloon
Or just remain in the earth and help daffodils bloom
I guess we'll find out soon
