Try, Try, Try

Pop tart, what's our mission?
 Do we know, but never listen
 For too long, they held me under
 But I hear, it's almost over
 In Detroit, on a Memphis train
 Like you said, it's down in the heat
 And the summer rain of the automatic gauze
 Of your memories down in the sleep
 At the airplane races
 Try to hold on
 To this heart a little bit longer
 Try to hold on, to this love aloud
 Try to hold on
 For this heart's a little bit colder
 Try to hold on to this love
 Paperback scrawl your hidden poems
 Written around the dried out flowers
 Here we are still trading places
 To try to hold on
 Pop tart, can you envision?
 A free world of clearer vision
 For too long they held us under
 But I know we're getting over
 In Detroit, with the Nashville tears
 Like you said it's down in the heat
 With the broken numbers
 Down in the gaze of solemnity
 Down in the way, you've held together
 To try to hold on
 To this heart a little bit closer
 Try to hold on, to this love aloud
 Try to hold on
 For this heart's a little bit older
 Try to hold on, to this love aloud
 And we are still alive
 Try to hold on
 And we have survived
 Try to hold on
 And no one should deny, we tried to hold on
 To the pulse of the feedback current
 Into the flow of encrypted movement
 Slapback kills the ancient remnants
 That try to hold on
 Try to hold on, to this heart alive
 Try to hold on, to this love aloud
 Try to hold on and we are still alive
 Try to hold on and we have survived
 Try to hold on
 Pop tart, you never listen
 Skinned knees, try to hold on
 Stop start, what's our mission
 Skinned knees try to hold on
