Trying to Find a New Way

Lyrics
It was '71 when I wrote our first song Mom was still sleeping - Dad was still gone So I snuck out of bed - wrote down a line I liked the words but they seemed out of... Time, time, time is the enemy Trying to rhyme in a line what you meant to me I thought I had it when I found that diminished Seventy verses later I was still trying to finish I was trying to find a new way to get to you Trying to find a new way to make it true Trying to find a new way... It was '82 before we broke their hearts Always pedal to the metal - unsettled from the start It was touch and go and up and down And we held onto each other like a merry-go-round Round, round like a satellite I tried to sing it like you wrote it but it wasn't right I sung for millions and I sung for tips And all them sons of b*t*hes on the Sunset Strip and... I was trying to find a new way to get to you Trying to find a new way to make it true Trying to find a new way... There we go long ago I know you remember Yelling at me even though I never heard a word you'd say That was me, absentee, you see I was always living In the make-believe looking for another way to say I loved you I've been your lover and I've been your beast And your worst critic when you needed one least And you cut me down and I make you cry I tried to change you and I still don't know why Why, why do we go through this I can see it in your eye that you're getting p*ssed Don't ask me if I like your suggestion If you don't want the answer, Baby Then don't ask the question, I'm just... I was trying to find a new way to get to you Trying to find a new way to make it true Trying to find a new way...
