Of all the lyrics (as yet without a tune) I’ve ever written, this one has my favorite chorus. ——————————- Trying to Get Through (To You) Oh sweet rush of sugar summer days together why do we always think in terms of forever will we never learn oh bitter pill to swallow to think your words are hollow please please don’t say it’s true uh oh oh see from my view everything we could ever be split the difference measure this distance closer than the eye can see Oh beautiful little dream I’ve carefully built on you oh inescapable thing called love like coffee for two ooh ooh everything true I’m just trying to get through to you Oh bitter to my tongue your kiss has come undone why is every little touch like a hit and run it hurts us too much oh sweet lies that I believe but I got something up my sleeve please please say you’ll stay uh uh oh see things my way everything we could ever be I'm here tonight to help you see the light let's face reality Oh beautiful little dream I’ve carefully built on you oh inescapable thing called love like coffee for two ooh ooh everything true I’m just trying to get through to you Ah beautiful riddle girl left broken down and blue ah inevitable thing called love I will prove to you ooh ooh everything true I’m just trying to get through Love has left you hurt and you heart’s unsure but then again nobody said this was perfection hey what in the world is all I really know is this only two hands can steer us in the right direction so I dare you to believe like I believe in you sing it with me ooh ooh ooh am I getting through to you Oh sweet rush of sugar summer days together why do I still think in terms of forever guess I always will Oh beautiful little dream I’ve carefully built on you oh inescapable thing called love like coffee for two ooh ooh everything true I’m just trying to get through This thing called love I will prove to you ooh ooh everything true I’m just trying to get through tell me I’m getting through to you you you “All is fair in love and songwriting” - Norah Jones |

Souldrifter, Really liked this, and yes..the chorus is wonderful, it lingers. imho, I could see this being sung by a group..maybe someone like Maroon-5 or as a solo by a man or woman..for instance Kasey Musgraves (cant help it..I'm really into her 'golden-hour albumn lol) Ok, enough rambling. Well done.. Sky~ ~Don't Quit Your Day Dream~ |
