Tryin' To Matter

[Verse 1] I'm a lonely man with a lonely life A full-time job and part-time wife And the grindstone just goes on and on You're a lonely girl that's a lonely wife Gotta three bedroom and an empty life And you're not quite sure Just where it all went wrong There are lots of reasons why we should turn and walk away But there's a whole lot riding on this love so baby what's ya say [Chorus] Let's give it one good shot Let's really give it all we got We can take it nice and slow Baby don't you want to go back Where we had a chance And we danced our dance In a world where a heart could never shatter We might go down crying But at least our love will die Trying to matter, trying to matter [Verse 2] We've come a long way so don't forget Let's don't throw our hands up yet We've still got time To change our mind Honey let's give it our best tonight If we still ain't got it right We can always, always say goodbye Somewhere I guess we let go, lost a little ground One solitary heartbeat can turn this thing around [Chorus] Let's give it one good shot Let's really give it all we got We can take it nice and slow Baby don't you want to go back Where we had a chance And we danced our dance In a world where a heart could never shatter We might go down crying But at least our love will die Trying' to matter We might go down crying At least our love will die Trying to matter, trying to matter
