[Intro: Calum, Luke]
One, two, three, four
I'm trying too hard again

[Verse 1: Luke, Calum]
She's dropping out of school 'cause she don't need the grades
The colours in her hair don't seem to fade
I get dressed up when I go out
But she gets dressed down
She's seventeen, I told her I'm twenty
I couldn't take her out 'cause mum's got no money
It's stuff like this that makes me wish
That I could change somehow

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
Sitting here at home

[Chorus: All]
It's obvious she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard 'cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
'Cause I'm not being me
And it's getting me down that
She makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again
[Verse 2: Calum, Calum & Ashton]
She's got a rose tattoo but she keeps it covered
I play guitar but she's into drummers
She's seen my face around
But she doesn't even know my name (Oh-oh, oh-oh)
I pierced my lip so she thinks I'm cool
I ripped my jeans and dropped out of school
I followed her around the town
But she thinks that I'm a weirdo now

[Pre-Chorus: Luke & Ashton]
Sitting here at home

[Chorus: All]
It's obvious she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard 'cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
'Cause I'm not being me
And it's getting me down that
She makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

[Bridge: Luke]
But now, who knew
That she's in the crowd of my show?
Nothing to lose
She's standing right in the front row
The perfect view
She came along on her own
And there's something that you should know
[Breakdown: Luke]
You're so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard 'cause
You make me feel, you make me feel
Yeah, she makes me feel, she makes me feel

[Chorus: All]
It's obvious she's so out of reach
And I'm finding it hard 'cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel
Like I try, like I try, like I'm trying too hard
'Cause I'm not being me
And it's getting me down that
She makes me think, makes me think
That I try, that I try, that I'm trying too hard again

[Outro: Luke, Luke & Ashton]
And again, and again, and again, and again
'Cause I'm trying too hard again
And again, and again, and again, and again
'Cause I'm trying too hard again
