Trying

I first heard this song and I thought it was alright. Maybe because I wasn't in a situation where I could fully understand the meaning of the lyrics. Then life became harder and I had more responsibilities on my shoulders. I now understand what I means to try your hardest and hope for the best. I'm just amazed by the amount of determination expressed in this song, with the quote:

"even if it takes my whole life/to get to where I need to be"

It's very encouraging and I'm glad I learned to appreciate it .

Also, on a funny note. I driving home one night, and my friend called me. He was lost and he needed directions. And I was actually playing "Trying" and I heard the lines "trying to find my way"...I laughed so hard hahaha.

This song seems to be about trying with a significant other to be all they want and need. I think that there is also a deeper meaning of just trying to be the best person you can in all aspects of life. If you fall, get up and keep trying.

ooo i luv this song, its soo good. it was on the end of "third watch" the other night and i almost started crying...mostly bc of his voice. he has a great voice and i think thats what make most of their songs great, also bc of the lyrics tho!

This is such a beautiful song.god i love lifehouse. The entire Cd is so touching and all the lyrics are awesome. to me this song is about knowing your limits. trying to be the best person you can and thats all that should be expected of you.

I heard this song on Third Watch and feel in love with it. I just had to download it. I hope other people like it at least that much too.

I also heard this song on the Third Watch. And i cant get out of my head. By far one my most favorite songs, his voice and the words. Just kinda calms you down and makes you think of your life...

I think its about a guy trying to be something he's not just to get a girl. And he doesn't like what he's becoming.

hey esto, get a life and stay out of others

I think this song represents the purity of learning. Learning about life, love, and how to be happy without being fake. My favorite line (by far) is, "And if I should fall / To the bottom of the end / I'll be one step back to you" because that can also be interpreted as a moving-on song. I'm moving on, but even if I can't move on, I can always go back to you and that would be okay.

I see this song in a different way. I believe he's addressing a girl, or rather, a girl who's a bit "uptight" about her faith. (Could you let down your hair/And be transparent for a while/Just a little while/to see if you're human after all) I think what Jason's trying to say is that he is far from perfect and he doesn't have all the answers to life's questions...but he's working on it. He's not perfect, but his faith is real.
