Kid, Please Try Harder

It doesnÂ't exist -
You live in regret
I remember the kiss when we first met
I remember the sting
As you finished me off -
And I remember my face when you stopped -
And said

Kid, please try harder while you can
Â'Cos IÂ'm so tired of it all
With no command.
And I said
Please try harder while you can
IÂ'm now required by love
To be in command.

YouÂ're stuck here with me
And IÂ'm stuck here with you
WeÂ'll walk through it all –
Like we used to.
And the things youÂ'd forget
When we live without fear
Ill broke on the road –
And IÂ'll be here, singing

Kid, please try harder while you can
Â'Cos IÂ'm so tired of it all
And all your plans.
Can you please try harder while you can
IÂ'm now required by love
To hold your hands.

YouÂ've been flashing white light
From the palms on your hands
You were ready to fight –
Or to land.
YouÂ're so easily led
You didnÂ't know how to dance
So thatÂ's all you want
From romance.
(Well then, Kid)

Please try harder while you can
Â'Cos IÂ'm so tired of a love
With all your plans
I said
Please try harder while you can
IÂ'm now required by the law
To hold your hand.

(Can you try?)
(CÂ'mon, try)
(CÂ'mon, try)
(Can we try?)
(Could you try?)

Could you try?
You were flashing white light
From the palms of your hands
You were ready to fight -
Or to land.
YouÂ're so easily led
You didnÂ't know how to dance
But if thatÂ's all you want
If this is all you want -
From romance.
