Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I got a box of screws
And a table full of scars
A bent-up toaster jaw
And a bike with missing parts
I say, "I got you"
Then the bolt slips free
Grease on my shirt again
Like it knows me
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things fold, some things snap
Some days hit like that
I line it up, I back it up
I try again after that
[Chorus]
I keep trying, trying
I keep trying, trying
If it breaks, I stay
With my hands in the rain
I keep trying, trying
I keep trying, trying
Can't fix everything
But I won't walk away
[Verse 2]
The lamp still flickers blue
The drawer won't ever slide
The radio hums one note
When I turn it side to side
I made a mess of it
Paint on the floorboards
Still I hear that little click
When something starts to work
[Pre-Chorus]
Some things mend, some things don't
Some nights just won't go home
But I bring my stubborn heart
And a pocket full of hope
[Chorus]
I keep trying, trying
I keep trying, trying
If it breaks, I stay
With my hands in the rain
I keep trying, trying
I keep trying, trying
Can't fix everything
But I won't walk away
[Bridge]
Maybe the crack stays there
Maybe the dent won't leave
Maybe the world won't fit
The way I think it should be
Still I pick it up
Still I turn it over
Still I hear that small
"It can work" inside me
[Final Chorus]
I keep trying, trying
I keep trying, trying
If it breaks, I stay
With my hands in the rain
I keep trying, trying
I keep trying, trying
Can't fix everything
But I won't walk away
I won't walk away
I won't walk away
