Could you let down your hair be transparent for awhile
Just a little while
To see if your human after all
Honesty is a hard attribute to find
When we all want to seem like
We've got it all figured out
Well let me be the first to say that I don't have a clue
I don't have all the answers
Ain't gonna pretend like I do

Just trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't memorized all of the cute things to say
But I'm working on it
Maybe I'll master this art form someday
If I quote all the lines off the top of my head
Would you believe
That I fully understand all these things I've read

I'm just trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way the best that I know how

Well I haven't got it all figured out quite yet but
Even if it takes my whole life
To get to where I need to be
And if I should fall to the bottom of the end
I'll be one step back to you and

Trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way

I'm trying
To find my way
Trying
To find my way



Behind the Song:
'I wrote 'Trying' when I was 15. It's about the same kind of spiritual searching as 'Only One.' After my parents got divorced, I wrote the lyrics to it, then learned how to play guitar and came up with the melody. The song's about finding your way in life. I was trying to figure out what I wanted to do, what I wanted to become, not just in music but also who I was as a person. I consider 'Trying' my first song, the first one I didn't scrap. The funny thing is, I can relate to it more now than I could back then. Sometimes I think, 'Man where did that come from?' I still feel the same emotion when I play it, so I guess it's pretty timeless; people can relate to it, no matter how old they are.' - Jason Wade (Lifehouse)
