lyrics

‘collect your thoughts’ someone once told me
so I did
stacked ‘em in the corner
in chronological order
starting from when I was a kid

i try i try i try i’ll do better
i try i try i’ll try i’ll do better

‘that’s a pretty big stack’ he said
‘i agree, i don’t throw anything away
save ‘em all for a rainy day
you never know what you’re gonna need’

i try i try i try i’ll do better
i try i’ll try i’ll try i’ll do better
oh but words fail, walls fall down sometimes

‘they’re takin’ up space’ you kindly pointed out
‘barely got room for yourself
let alone room for somebody else’
all the wrong words just spill out of my mouth

i try i try i’ll try i’ll do better
i try i try i’ll try i’ll do better
oh but words fail, walls fall down some-
walls fail, words fall down some-
words fail, worlds fall down some-
words fail, walls fall down sometimes

maybe all this collecting does me no good
i think that’s the time to make choices
and drown out the logical voices
i’ve watched but i’ve never understood

i try i try i’ll try i’ll do better
i try i try i try i’ll do better
oh but words fail, walls fall down some-
walls fail, words fall down some-
words fail, worlds fall down some-
words fail, walls fall down

‘collect your thoughts’ someone once told me
