Introduce THIS To Your Parents - Into It. Over It.

I’ve been counting ways to tell you that this isn’t working out in my head

«Is there a problem?

You can tell me,» she said

But despite my best intentions, what would I say to you now?

With all the «I'm sorry"s that come out your mouth

You’ve promised me a good time in your town

But I’m not driving that distance just to turn around

So, maybe you should try harder

To begin to try trying less

I swear I’m not this hard to impress

And you’re way too funny to give me much less

I’ll chalk it up to inexperience

But still, you’ve kept your mouth shut

The cat’s got your tongue

In a fit of apprehension

And I wish I had the courage to say this to your face

You’ll forgive me one day

But this song will outlive us both anyway, any day

So, maybe you should try harder

To begin to try trying less

I swear I’m not this hard to impress

So, take this song home with you

‘Cause I’ll never see it for myself

You can introduce it to your parents

Or frame it on your shelf
