[Verse 1]

On my way home, I told you I would stay for you

It’s getting late now, I told you I would wait for you

You left the door wide open

Risk taken, ties broken, I laughed

We’re on our way now, I told you I would stay for you

[Chorus]

Lately, they say I’m trying too hard

But maybe that’s what I needed to get this far

Time escaping and it’s something I should learn

Cause time’s escaping and erasing my chance with her

[Refrain]

From the car to the hotel bed

Through the dark, all the things you said

And still, the only thing on my mind

[Chorus]

Lately, they say I’m trying too hard

But maybe that’s what I needed to get this far

Lately, they say I’m trying too hard

And all you had to say was "Don’t go far"

[Refrain]

From the car to the hotel bed

Through the dark, all the things you said

From the car to the hotel bed

From the car to the hotel bed

Through the dark, all the things you said

[Chorus]

Lately, they say I’m trying too hard

But maybe that’s what I needed to get this far

Lately, they say I’m trying too hard

And all you had to say was "Don’t go far"

[Outro]

(That’s what I needed to get this far)

Lately, they say I’m trying too hard

(That’s what I needed to get this far)

And all you had to say was "Don’t go far"
