lyrics

Year after year, what becomes clear
Is we're stumbling through the dark
Year after year, what becomes clear
Is we're stumbling through the dark
Call when you're here, walk beside me
I'm looking forward to talk
Forget the fear when you're near
It's late, I don't want to stop

Try try try ----- try

Trial and error
Soften your failure
Sipping a cup of tea
Trial and error
Live with your failure
Hope for some clarity

We’re stumbling through the dark
It’s all talk talk talk
Half the bottle is gone
“I don’t know where to start”
We’re stumbling through the dark
It's just talk talk talk
Half the bottle is gone
Still we have to walk

When we're older
I hope that we're closer
To closing in on our dreams
And when we get older
I suppose that we'll learn that
Nothing is as it seems

It's trial and error
Soften your failure
Sipping a cup of tea
Trial and error
Live with your failure
You don't know what to believe

We’re stumbling through the dark
It’s all talk talk talk
Half the bottle is gone
“I don’t know where to start”
We’re stumbling through the dark
It's just talk talk talk
Another bottle is gone
And still we have to walk

Do you see what I see?
Both far and near
Do you hear what I hear?
Both far and near
Do you feel how I feel?
Year after year

We’re stumbling through the dark
It’s just talk talk talk
Half the bottle is gone
“Well I don’t know what I want”
Stumbling through the dark
It's all talk talk talk
Another bottle is gone
And the sun is up
