I Can Try

I know I can't do the high jump
If I never want to dive
I know I can't get to Paris
If I only wanna drive

But I can try
I can try

I can't catch your eye at midnight
When there's no one else around
And I know I can't tell you secrets
If I never make a sound

But I can try
I can try

Maybe I should be ashamed
What's that thing that people say?
"Nothing lost is nothing gained"

Now your ghost has come to haunt me
It seems as if she's here to stay
I know I can't make you want me
Without giving myself away

But still
I can try
I can try
I can try
And I will
