i’m trying too hard
not to try too hard
the way i do
you know it’s never been easy
no it’s never been easy
but i keep fumbling my way through
hardest of all
to keep an eye on the ball
while keeping all these ducks in a row
they keep moving and shufflin’
all their feathers keep rufflin’
i’m just here trying to go with the flow
oh but you have a way
like a farm cat stretched on a bale of hay
soaking up the sun
in the middle of the day
warm to the touch
cool as you please
you carry it all
with ease
front door won’t close
the way it should
it let’s the chill air pass right thru
seems like there’s always something
something that needs fixing
there’s always one more thing to do
i hear the old clock
tick tock tick tock
minutes turn into hours turn into days
i watch the years go by
in the blink of an eye
i know i’ll never be able to keep that pace
oh but you have a way
like a farm cat stretched on a bale of hay
soaking up the sun
in the middle of the day
warm to the ouch
cool as you please
you carry it all
with ease
