Lyrics[]
Can't put my finger on it, but I know I want it
I'm willing to try another way
That is, if I get by another day
Back and forth, I don't get anywhere
And I been searchin' everywhere
And I'll try tonight, just try tonight
Happy as the moonshine siftin' in the nighttime
Clichés find a home inside of him
When he enters, all of the lights go dim
He's so sure he got a tragic lifestyle
And I'm so sure I can make that man smile
And I'll try tonight, just try tonight
A dark room in the nighttime is how he spends all his time
And if he could go on without your help
Then he would do it all by himself, but
I don't think he got strength to muster
And he don't got a lot, lackluster
He'll try tonight to not get high
He'll try tonight to not get high
But he will, he will, he will, yes, he will, mm
