Using my time the best way I know
But the things that I make
Are things you can't hold

There ain't much to show
Or put in the bank
There's a seed in the ground
Now we just have to wait

Baby I'm trying, trying
I'm trying as hard as I can
Baby I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, I promise I am

It's hard not to compare
It's hard not to doubt
When the rest of the world's
Got it all figured out
I know my train
Hasn't left the station
We'll be riding it soon
We just gotta stay patient

Baby I'm trying, trying
I'm trying as hard as I can
Baby I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, I promise I am

Oh, when I get so low
You come down and find me
Oh, and you remind me

Baby I'm trying, trying
I'm trying as hard as I can
Baby I'm trying, trying
I'm trying, I promise I am
