William Shatner - That's Me Trying Lyrics
That's Me TryingFeaturing: Aimee Mann and Ben FoldsI got your address from the phone book at the libraryWandered in, looked you up and you were thereWeird that you've been living, maybe, 2 miles away for the best part of 20 yearsYou must be, what, in your early forties nowIf I remember,You were born in June or was it May?Eisenhower was the president although it may have been JFKYears of silenceNot enough who could blame us giving up?Above the quiet there's a buzzThat's me tryingYou still working in that store on ventura?You still going with--no, that's not fairI know I haven't been the very best of dadsI'll hold my hand up thereThe reason that I'm writing is that i'd like for us to meetGet a little daughter dad action going soonWe can put things behind usEat some pizza, drink some beerYou still see your sister Lemli?Bring her, tooYears of silence, not enoughWho could blame us giving up?Above the quiet there's a buzzThat's me tryingBut I don't want to talk about any of that bad stuffWhy I missed out on your wedding and your high school graduationI'd like to explain, but I can'tSo let's keep things neutralStick to topics that won't bug usHow 'bout this?Let's choose a book and we'll read it before we meetThen we can sit down at a restaurantHave a look at the menu and talk about it while we eatSee, if we never had a problemThen that's what life would be likeEasyUncomplicatedCoolSo let's just pretend that the past didn't happenI don't really like thriller as well.I don't want to know if I've got grandchildrenno need to tell me where I went wrongI don't want to know what happened in your thirtiesYou wanna try 'cold mountain'?Or is that too long??Years of silence, not enoughWho could blame us giving up?Above the quiet there's a buzzThat's me tryingI'm trying
