about

"Trying" is our second single recorded and produced by Jared Corder of Repeat Repeat* on the farm and in Stephen's bedroom. The song was tracked in a day and was the third song we ever wrote. It was written about Hannah's struggle with the transition of moving from China to the States for school. It's hard to go through changes but you gotta just try your best! The song is premiering on Lightning 100 on March 24th, but bandcamp gets it first!!

lyrics

Verse 1
I’ve seen better days
Woke up in the morning put on another face
I’ve thought better things
Than what they always told me
I threw myself away
Walked another way
Down some other pathway
Gone too far to change
Oh it seems so gray
Voices all around me
It’s just too much to take
Chorus
Oh Oh
I’ve been trying, trying, trying, trying to work it out
Oh Oh
I’ve been trying, trying, trying, trying to work it out
Maybe it’s not enough
Keep my head above
Pressures building up
Takes some time to change
To turn another page
I’ll try my best today
Verse 2
Always seems the same
Kept me on a short leash been hard to pull away
But I’ve gone away
Somewhere no one knows me
Nobody even knows my name
Chorus
Oh Oh
I’ve been trying, trying, trying, trying to work it out
Oh Oh
I’ve been trying, trying, trying, trying to work it out
Maybe it’s not enough
Keep my head above
Pressures building up
Takes some time to change
To turn another page
I’ll try my best today
