Never Try

[Verse 1]

Every mornin', I keep sleepin'

'Cause in the nighttime, I'm dreamin' of

My childhood schoolyard, I was breathin'

Air on the street where I grew up

You tell me I should know better

You're probably right, it's just a phase

I'll come back ten years from now

And nothin' will have changed

[Chorus]

'Cause I know I never try

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I wanna know if I leave here alive

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Verse 2]

Am I too old

To be campin' out on my back porch?

In the suburbs where I was born

You never made me happy

[Chorus]

And I know I never try

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I wanna know if I leave here alive

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Bridge]

And even when I try, I can't recall

Faces of anyone at all

And I dreamt of you in Montreal

In places I've never been at all

This isn't what I was hopin' for

I barely ever dream about you anymore

When everything you want has come and gone

[Chorus]

Then you'll know I never try

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

And I wanna know if I leave here alive

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

[Outro]

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh

Oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
