The Weather Station - Trying lyrics

I am trying… I am trying not to let words just shake me off They would slip and be gone like minnows Just a silvery flash in the shadows I would be blank like an unlit street sign On the bank just waiting on my line Words would go and then I'd just be sitting there on your floor Loving everything I see and no way to tell you what to look for Then I'd forget – or have I already forgotten – all that I love as all the strings that pull me start to tauten I am trying – for what – I can't place I am trying for some kind of grace
