Trying to Find a New Way Quarterflash

It was '71 when I wrote our first song
Mom was still sleeping - Dad was still gone
So I snuck out of bed - wrote down a line
I liked the words but they seemed out of...
Time, time, time is the enemy
Trying to rhyme in a line what you meant to me
I thought I had it when I found that diminished
Seventy verses later I was still trying to finish

I was trying to find a new way to get to you
Trying to find a new way to make it true
Trying to find a new way...

It was '82 before we broke their hearts
Always pedal to the metal - unsettled from the start
It was touch and go and up and down
And we held onto each other like a merry-go-round
Round, round like a satellite
I tried to sing it like you wrote it but it wasn't right
I sung for millions and I sung for tips
And all them sons of bitches on the Sunset Strip and...

I was trying to find a new way to get to you
Trying to find a new way to make it true
Trying to find a new way...
