I'm guessing it goes "We'll try again" instead of "Will try again." But it really doesn't make that much of a difference, does it?
This little B-side is actually my favorite Grandaddy song. Sure, the lyrics don't reach a level of The Warming Sun. Maybe it took Jason 30 seconds to write them, but there's still those frequent Grandaddy themes of yearning and escapism and feeling out of place. And as the above poster mentioned, it walks this fine line between being gorgeous and being creepy. I had headphones on the first time I listened to it, and I think that's the best way to appreciate it. Pump up the volume and wait for the bass synth to kick in. Then you get the layers of synth and the warbly piano flourishes, and you're not quite sure whether to feel sad or a little creeped out. Either way, it's the one Grandaddy song that got stuck in my head the most. For best effect, listen to it late at night on a lonely country road.
I never saw or heard Jason or anyone in the band discuss this song, so I have no idea if L.F.O. is supposed to stand for low-frequency oscillation or not. But if you were to wager a guess, I'm thinking that would be a pretty good guess.
