Try

This one came about a little later in my writing career, but April Fools Day is about as good a day as any to post it. Besides, I feel like finally posting one of my best songs... plus a video and mp3.

I'm not exactly sure how this commentary should go. Try was about my girlfriend at the time... we hadn't been together for too long when I wrote this, and we began dating with the knowledge that I was moving away... but I wanted to try to stay together.

Reading the lyrics now, I think most people can take something from the song. I've lost a lot of sleep over the years worrying about the ends of various things. "Let's all laugh into the fire" is, in my humble opinion, a great line. Enjoy the good times as they happen, and remember them fondly. And finally, don't give up on something you believe in until there is nothing more you can do. It may not work out, but that's life. All you can do is try.

Try

Set it off
Build it up
Let's all laugh into the fire

Tell me now
did you cry?
raise the bar a little higher

close your eyes and just pretend
i could use a little rest for my head
can't fall asleep, all i see
all i see is the end

if i go
overboard
please excuse my behavior

i'd make it right
but i forget
just how it feels to be a savior

close your eyes and just pretend
i could use a little rest for my head
can't fall asleep, all i see
all i see is the end

excuse me baby, but i don't want to give up

close your eyes and just pretend
i could use a little rest for my head
can't fall asleep, all i see
all i see is the end

let's all laugh into the fire
let's all laugh into the fire
