That's Me Trying
William Shatner

I got your address from the phone book at the library

Wandered in, looked you up and you were there

Weird that you've been living, maybe

2 miles away for the best part of 20 years

You must be, what

In your early forties now, if I remember

You were born in June or was it May?

Eisenhower was the President although it may have been JFK

Years of silence, not enough

Who could blame us giving up?

Above the quiet there's a buzz

That's me trying

You still working in that store on Ventura?

You still going with, no, that's not fair

I know I haven't been the very best of dads

I'll hold my hand up there

The reason that I'm writing is I'd like for us to meet

Get a little daughter dad action going soon

We could put things behind us, eat some pizza, drink some beer

You still see your sister, Lemli? Bring her, too

Years of silence, not enough

Who could blame us giving up?

Above the quiet there's a buzz

That's me trying

But I don't wanna talk about any of that bad stuff

Why I missed out on your wedding and your high school graduation

I'd like to explain, but I can't

So let's keep things neutral, stick to topics that won't bug us

How 'bout this?

Let's choose a book and we'll read it before we meet

Then we can sit down at a restaurant

Have a look at the menu and talk about it while we eat

See, if we never had a problem then that's what life would be like

Easy, uncomplicated, cool

So let's just pretend that the past didn't happen

I don't really like thrillers as well

I don't want to know if I've got grandchildren

No need to tell me where I went wrong

I don't want to know what happened in your thirties

You wanna try 'Cold Mountain' or is that too long?

Years of silence, not enough

Who could blame us giving up?

Above the quiet there's a buzz

That's me trying, it's me trying

That's me trying, I'm trying

Above the quiet there's a buzz

I'm trying
