Try Too Hard Songtext
von The Bicycles

We know if we try too hard we′ll fail
So we cut all our losses and rode for the sunset foothills
But if we run we're bound to leave a trail
So before they came looking we got down to some rest and repair
To come waltzing back in with our legs nowhere near to our tails
I′ve got rain filling up
In a paper coffee cup
In a holder on my Bicycle
It spills out as I ride to work
Said it's been a little while
Since we went out for a ride
A little rusty but I trust it that we'll get there and we′ll get there in style
With a smile
We know if we try too hard we′ll fail
So we took all our chances at once and just once we behaved


But if we run we're bound to leave a trail
And we learned a few lessons to throw off the history we made
Well we thought we′d had enough
But we didn't get too tough
We would hang out in the park
Playing ball ′til it got dark
Said we wouldn't sing our song
But it didn′t take too long
Til the songs that we weren't sing left a stinging little lingering want
To move on
Been hangin' round with a different crowd
Goin′ places moving town to town
So many places that the faces start to look all the same
It sure was aces but it′s good to be back home again
We know if we try at all we'll win
