The Encore (I'll Try) Songtext
von Corey Smith

The lights are overheating
The curtains won′t go down
The rollercoaster's busted
And I′m ready for the ground
Until I hear you
Don't be like that

My fingertips are bleeding
I'm dead on my feet
I don′t feel like singing
I just wanna go to sleep
Until I hear you
Don′t be like that

My voice is a kettle going dry
But I'll try, I′ll try, I'll try


The television′s broken
The night's a quiet storm
The drama keeps unfolding
Oh, how poorly I′ve performed
Until I hear you
Don't be like that

I'm stuck inside this room
Like I′m stuck inside myself
The guitar in the closet
Like a Bible on a shelf
Until I hear you
Don′t be like that

My song is a kettle going dry
But I'll try, I′ll try, I'll try

When my head is turning
When my eyes betray
When I′m stealing beauty
And it's hard to look away
I′ll hear you
Don't be like that


When my fuse is burning
When I'm seeing red
When I′m cussing like a dog
When the devil′s in my head
I'll hear you
Don′t be like that

When my heart's a kettle going dry
I′ll try, I'll try, I′ll try
I'll try, I'll try, I′ll try
