Tryin’ to Matter

[Verse 1]
Lucy told me if I came I'd find you here
In this hotel
But every time I see you, I don't think so clear
Oh well, oh well
I've seen so many people get run down from love
It looks like hell
So here I go, another fool
That's stepping out of the shadows

[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to matter
Tryin' to matter
Tryin' to mean something to someone
Tryin' to give myself away
I wish I had her
If I had her
Someone might matter to me

[Verse 2]
Tell me if I am being rude, I often am
Just say it, please do
Look at what I've done, I've gone and spilled your wine
All over you, yeah
I need somebody, somebody who'd hate me if I'm late coming home
Once in a while

[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to matter
Tryin' to matter
Tryin' to mean something to someone
Tryin' to give myself away
I wish I had her
'Cause if I had her
Someone might matter to me, yeah

[Bridge]
If I ain't love no one
Then I ain't got nothin'
I don't wanna take nothin' when I'm gone

[Chorus]
I'm tryin' to matter
Tryin' to matter
Tryin' to mean something to someone
Tryin' to give myself away
I wish I had her
If I had her
Yeah, someone would matter to me, yeah
Tryin' to matter
Tryin' to matter
Oh, tryin' to mean something to someone
Tryin' to give myself away
I wish I had her
If I had her
Someone would matter to me, yeah
Tryin' to matter
Tryin' to matter
Tryin' to give myself to someone
Tryin' to give myself away
If I had her
Oh, I wish I had her
Woah-woah, someone would matter to me

[Outro]
Hey-hey
Woah-oh-oh-oh, oh, yeah
Someone would matter to me, yeah
