Sloan - I've Gotta Try Lyrics






(Is it only when you're lonely)

So many times knowing I'm wasting time
Too many people behind me in line

They're gonna try
All the things in their lives that they'd never try
And if they succeed
Will they still have a spot right between their eyes

This thing about imagination
Is that it takes most people every single day
To know they have one
This thing about identification
Is that it fools most people just give their lives away

So many times I knew I wasted time
Too many people behind me in line
Breaking the banks and being of two minds
About all these people behind me in line

They're gonna try
All the things in their lives that shouldn't try
But I'm gonna learn
To believe in my life until the day that I die

The thing about imagination
Is that it takes most people every single day
To know they even have one
And this thing about identification
It just fools some people just give their lives away
When they've only got one
Or maybe two

    deb says hi

  5. i.... ....

    @drowner1 you said "traps." That means you know lingo and stuff.

  6. i.... ....

    Andy is a badass. I wish he wrote more songs that made it onto Sloan records.

  7. f.... ....

    yeah yo ho hoo da doo
    i'm crazy

  8. v.... ....

    Doesn't Chris Murphy look gorgous while he plays the drums?

  9. d.... ....

    One key thing to realize: that's their drummer taking lead vox and on guitar while the bassist sits in on traps. *That's* why Sloan is so damn special.

  10. b.... ....

    well i disagree. i see great genius in the insane lyrics of "i am the walrus". of course that's just me. i was wrong to compare bands in the first place. pardon me.

  11. b.... ....

    no. i'm quite serious. i think the attempt to sound beatles-ey in this song is plain to see. the lyrics however are dissimilar to the Beatles' lyrics, by which i mean, they aren't relevant or cool sounding.

  12. b.... ....

    i love the mood/groove of the song as well as the melody. don't know about the lyrics though. if the lyrics were stronger i'd compare this song with a Beatles composition. Goo Goo Ka-Choo!

  13. D.... D....

    The bad thing is that record company license out the music of the artist to asshole corporate companies who steal the music made my artists to sell their garbage

  14. D.... D....

    Whatever pal, they are a great band.

  15. m.... ....

    Did they get desperate and hire a Sheridan student to do their video this time?

  16. o.... p....

    sigh. i was hoping for something interesting but they have fallen victim to current trends.

  17. x.... ....

    This reminds me of the Kraft salad dressing commercials!

  18. J.... D....

    this song is sweet as fuck it makes me happy lol

  19. A.... W....

  20. K.... B....
