Yeah, and so how often must somebody who's in that sort of You have no idea how Close I am to Going back to a dark place or you have no idea Don't do how hard it is to get to the point where you guys think is still shitty Yes, like I think about that a lot like the idea of the idea of doing your best or trying is One that only a person knows and you know when you're doing it and it's so hard Which is what I get from that song when you're doing your damn best And it's not good enough.

Yep, and it rarely is Yeah But it's uh, you know cuz and then you it's a very isolating feeling which I think is Funny because it actually is the thing that binds all of us We're all like doing our best and feeling like it's not even close to good enough Yeah, I had this idea that the first verse would be about someone who is in a sort of a life crisis and Has just been trying and failing and trying and failing in their relationship Has been you know messing things up with people they love has been letting everyone down and kind of has driven to this overlook this cliff and It's just in the car going I could like I could do whatever I want in this moment and it could affect everything forever But this person backs up and drives home and I love that the idea that not driving off the cliff is an act of trying Yeah, which is almost the ultimate act of trying.

I just wanted you to know This is me trying I Just wanted you to know if this is me try You They told me all of my cages were mental so I got wasted like all my Potential and my words you to kill when I'm mad I have a lot of regrets about that I was so ahead of the curve the curve became a sphere fell behind all my classmates, and I ended up here Pouring out my heart to a stranger, but I didn't pour the whiskey.

I just wanted you to know This is me trying I Just wanted you to know that this is me try At least I'm trying You And it's hard to be at a party when I feel like an old It's hard to be anywhere these days and all I want is you your flashback and a film reel on the one screen in my town I Just wanted you to know that this is me try I Just wanted you to know that this is me try At least I'm trying
