David Hodgman - Somethin' Else Lyrics

Man You Tried to Love Her

Man I tried, tried to love you
You know that I do
You can ask all the rest of our
Friends if I did my best
And they'll say man, you tried to love her
Ain't much more one man can do
But when you come back down
You're gonna see something else

Man you know I just fell for you
I know that I did
I wanted you for my lover, laying right here in my bed
But with all the world spinning around you
I could never get a grip
But when it slows back down
You're gonna feel something else
When you come back down
You're gonna see something else

I fell into you like I wish you'd fallen for me
Cause I've been begging and worshipping down on my knees
But nothing happens here without your reprieve
So I wait for your verdict prepared to retreat
From the dangers I've told myself not to believe
But I wasn't always so quick to admit defeat
I was keen to believe the adolescent dream
If I want I need it can't take it from me
I'm the one with the light and the power to shine
But time has it's way of teaching me to deny
Every impulse and urge of the child inside
And it cuts and then callouses all through your life
Til we're left with the medicated mediocrity
Distilled to the point where its merely a mockery
A satire staged and played out for my misery
A telling retelling to placate my memory
But when you come back down
You're gonna see something else
See something else, see something else

Man I tried tried to love you
That was my mistake
Because I had to hold you
I had to feel you break
But man I tried to love you
And it took all that I could take
Just to come back down
And see something else
When you come back down
