That's Me Trying Lyrics - Has Been - William Shatner

(featuring Aimee Mann and Ben Folds) 

I got your address from the phone book at the library 

Wandered in, looked you up and you were there 

Weird that you've been living, maybe, 2 miles away for the best part of 20 years 

You must be, what, in your early forties now 

If I remember, 

You were born in June or was it May? 

Eisenhower was the president although it may have been JFK 

Years of silence 

Not enough who could blame us giving up? 

Above the quiet there's a buzz 

That's me trying

You still working in that store on ventura? 

You still going with--no, that's not fair 

I know I haven't been the very best of dads 

I'll hold my hand up there 

The reason that I'm writing is that i'd like for us to meet 

Get a little daughter dad action going soon 

We can put things behind us 

Eat some pizza, drink some beer 

You still see your sister Lemli? 

Bring her, too 

Years of silence, not enough 

Who could blame us giving up? 

Above the quiet there's a buzz 

That's me trying 

Photos 

But I don't want to talk about any of that bad stuff 

Why I missed out on your wedding and your high school graduation 

I'd like to explain, but I can't 

So let's keep things neutral 

Stick to topics that won't bug us 

How 'bout this? 

Let's choose a book and we'll read it before we meet 

Then we can sit down at a restaurant 

Have a look at the menu and talk about it while we eat 

See, if we never had a problem 

Then that's what life would be like 

Easy 

Uncomplicated 

Cool 

So let's just pretend that the past didn't happen 

I don't really like thriller as well. 

I don't want to know if I've got grandchildren 

No need to tell me where I went wrong 

I don't want to know what happened in your thirties 

You wanna try 'cold mountain'? 

Or is that too long? 

Years of silence, not enough 

Who could blame us giving up? 

Above the quiet there's a buzz 

That's me trying 

I'm trying
