Well I, ever since I could remember, I've been going for broke
I think I met my goal, a long time ago
Which was fine, when I believed my delusions,
Now I don't even have that, this clean living's a blast,
Why would I ever go back?
Well it's all coming up roses, so much so, I can't take it
I can't take it anymore, that's why I'm
Trying to get back to the way things were, but the way things are,
keep making sure I'm just trying, only trying
I'm trying to get back to the way things were, but the way things are,
keep making sure, I'm just trying, only trying
Well I thought, I was pulling on my boot straps, but it turned
out to be, the rug underneath, my weary feet
Well it's all coming up roses, so much so, I can't take it
I can't take it anymore, that's why I'm
Trying to get back to the way things were, but the way things are,
keep making sure I'm just trying, only trying
I'm trying to get back to the way things were, but the way things are,
keep making sure, I'm just trying, only trying
Oh, if I could go back i'd go today
When we still had it all to throw away
Not dead yet, Just dying
Can't go back, I know that, so in vain, here I am, I'm just trying.
