Try to Be

I got a grocery list on an empty fridge and the laundry piled up high
But it’ll have to wait, 'cause I can’t be late for my day job one more time
My phone dings to remind me about the party that’s tonight
I’ll probably go
Even though

I’d rather stay in and watch an episode of friends
Take a little break from life
Just be by myself tonight
Is it really worth it, I’m not good at being perfect
But I try to be
I try to be
I try to be

A call from Mom, would it be wrong if I just let it ring
'Cause my mind’s filled up with too much stuff, no room for gossiping
The trashman comes this morning, but outside it’s pouring rain
So I’ll let it go
And just lay low

I’d rather stay in and watch an episode of friends
Take a little break from life
Just be by myself tonight
Is it really worth it? I’m not good at being perfect.
But I try to be
I try to be
I try to be

Life will still go on if things don’t go as planned
I don’t always get it done, but I do what I can

I’d rather stay in and watch an episode of friends
Take a little break from life
Just be by myself tonight
Is it really worth it? I’m not good at being perfect.
But I try to be
I try to be
I try to be
