"Try" lyrics

You've been looking for me in the most obvious places
Still I'm nowhere to be found
I'm perched atop the tallest buildings in the city
And I'm intrigued as I look down

All the ants below share the same comfortable existence
Yet they still wear the same frown
What a shame that they can't see the beauty that's surrounding them
When there's so much all around

Try, don't choose to walk away
There's a part in your soul it just takes time to find it when you
Try, take time and seize the day
'Cause after today's gone, you'll never have the chance again so try

While I sit here with so many thoughts
I'm listening to the rain falling to the ground
I'm just hoping one day soon all the unhappy people find
Solace in the sound

And listen to the old clichés that all the elders say
That life goes by too fast
I just wish there was some way that I could stop the clock
And make the good times last

Try, don't choose to walk away
There's a part in your soul it just takes time to find it when you
Try, take time and seize the day
'Cause after today's gone, you'll never have the chance again so try

Don't throw it all away
No one day's the same
You must realize
It's all in your mind

Don't emphasize the pain
On one particular day
If you feel you're starting to slide
Just pull yourself together, remember all that matters is you

Try, don't choose to walk away
There's a part in your soul it just takes time to find it when you
Try, take time and seize the day
'Cause after today's gone, you'll never have the chance again so try
