I Try My Best

I try my best at keeping up with you
But you always have so much to say
Whenever I try you could never provide me with the time of day
I try my best but don't know what to do
'Cause you always seem to get in my way
You're never impressed by the way I confess to the mistakes I made
You should know that I don't have a car
So hop a ride on my handlebars
We can cruise 'round the neighborhood
Tell your friends that we're up to no good
It's not like me to be part of your scene
Although I wish I could
(ooh yeah)
Climb inside my new rental car
It's not mine so we can't go far
We can cruise 'round the parking lot
Crack the windows if it gets too hot
I'll drive you back home through the tow-away zone
'Cause that's just what you want
I'll try my best to make it up to you
But I never find the right words to say
Whatever you find I'll be there to remind you that we'll never change

Has anybody checked on Hector?
He's a reclusive stamp collector
I saw him just the other day
But he turned and walked away
He's all alone in that apartment
Things started to fall apart just when
His mind was led astray
Now he's stuck in this charade
He's gotten really good at passing time
(What does he do to pass the time?)
Re-reading letters from a life that's passed him by (life that's passed him by)
Has anybody heard from Sarah?
The last I knew her whereabouts were off in parts unknown
She prefers to dream alone
She left of her own volition
Put her key in the ignition of her beat-up Chevrolet
Then she made her getaway
She thinks that murder is just killing time
(She kills another glass of wine)
Lights up a smoke and claims there's something in her eye (something in her eye)
(Says her last goodbye)
Has anybody checked on Hector?
He should've bought that smoke detector
Before his life when up in flames
Things will never be the same

Snap Infraction Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
With their debut full-length album, "Eephus", Snap Infraction distills decades of rock and roll into a modern sonic experience. Tight song structures overflow with hooks, echoing influences like The Cars, Joe Jackson, early Fleetwood Mac and The Beatles. Dynamic drums and guitars propel the music underneath tuneful vocal melodies, providing a sound that's familiar, yet completely their own. ... more
