She´s dropping out of school cause she don´t need the grade,
The colors in her hair don´t seem to fade,
I get dressed up when I go out but she gets dressed down
She´s 17 I´ve told her I´m 20,
I couldn´t take her out cause Mom´s got no money,
It´s stuff like this that makes me wish that I could change somehow
Sitting here at home, it´s obvious

[Chorus]
She´s so out of reach, and I´m finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I´m trying too hard,
Cause I´m not being me, and it´s getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I´m trying too hard again
Cause I´m trying too hard again

She´s got a rude tattoo but she keeps it covered,
I play guitar but she´s into drummers,
She´s seen my face around but she doesn´t even know my name
I pierced my lip so she thinks I´m cool,
I ripped my jeans and I dropped out of school,
I followed her around the town but she thinks that I´m a weirdo now
Sitting here at home, it´s obvious

[Chorus]
She´s so out of reach, and I´m finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I´m trying too hard,
Cause I´m not being me, and it´s getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I´m trying too hard again
Cause I´m trying too hard again

But now, who knew?
She´s in the crowd of my show
Nothing to lose,
She´s standing right in the front row
The perfect view,
She came along after all,
But here´s something that you should know

You´re so out of reach, and I´m finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Yeah she makes me feel, makes me feel

[Chorus]
She´s so out of reach, and I´m finding it hard cause
She makes me feel, makes me feel,
Like I try, like I try, like I´m trying too hard,
Cause I´m not being me, and it´s getting me down
She makes me think, makes me think,
That I try, that I try, that I´m trying too hard again
Cause I´m trying too hard again
