I caught the chalk dust in my hands at last, last night And I collected all the words I tried to write And I was waiting to explain before they blew away But the Sun came down too fast on my feet And I stayed glued to my seat And when I tried to make a move you stood in my way A monument to bad decisions I almost made And it choked out the daisies I planted that day But damn, I feel good after a drink So I’ll just sit here alone and think But I promise I promise you This is me trying This is me trying This is me trying to get through the day I’ll only let you ask me once And I’ll be honest when I say it And then we’ll burn the tape or never even play it But I promise you This is me trying This is me trying This is me trying to get through the day Don’t let me fade away Don’t let me fade away Don’t let me fade away
