Try Not to Try

Here you are, chasing angels
Look for another idea to hold under your thumb
And squeeze an ounce of courage from a thousand words
You'd think you'd heard enough

Try not to try
It's a lesson hard
Blind faith will scatter the stars
Tonight can be a beginning

Here I am, running over
Half of a lifetime, I'm scraping up a trace of youth
A lazy child can know the truth and touch the moon
It's here in front of you

Try not to try
It's a simple creed
With sense as a sly enemy
Tonight can be a beginning

Here we are, missing moments
So many details, the never-ending figure-out
Too weary now to talk about the way we feel
The night, it reels us in

Try not to try
It's a sacred art
Gripping the slippery stars
Tonight can be a beginning
