That's Me Trying

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 that I’d like for us to meet
Get a little daughter dad action going soon
We can put things behind us
Eat some pizza, drink some beer
Y-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 want to 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 thriller 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
(That's me trying)
That’s me trying
(That's me trying)
(I'm trying)
Above the quiet, there’s a buzz
(I'm trying)
