Everyone Tries

In the fading of a shot glass

Comes a minor overhaul

The neighbors have their reasons

For sending out a call

When the passion starts to bleed

And the challenge takes its toll

When the doubts begin to linger

We all want to go back home

Everyone tries

Basic disguise

Visible secrets

Everyone tries

In the spiral of an instant

As the days begin to fold

When the path becomes a reason

For the stories we’ve been sold

When the journey takes a detour

To a place we seldom go

When destination falters

We all want to go back home

Everyone tries

Basic disguise

Visible secrets

Everyone tries

Still as the darkness - truths we have made

Mist on the morning - reasons we stayed

Still in the moment - dreams start to fade

Sand through the fingers - just one more day
