Lyrics
When I was little
I wanted to be king
I built castles in the air
But never found my way in
For a week I was Rambo
But couldn’t take the pace
Then I thought I’d be a rocket man
But never made it into space
All my life I tried so many things I couldn’t do but I
Can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again for you
I worked to be a wizard
I tried it for a year
I had five white rabbits but
Not one would disappear
Dreamed of being a fireman
But that went up in flames
Said, «Okay, I’ll be a cowboy!»
But it turned out I’m no Jesse James
All my life I tried so many things I couldn’t do but I
Can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again for you
I played guitar in a band
And finally got laid
Then we fell apart
As soon as bills needed to be paid
Got a job in a restaurant
Where I burned every dish
Was a sidewalk Santa Claus
But I couldn’t grant one single wish
I set off to see the world
It finally felt right
But I got lost the second day
So I went home the following night
All my life I tried too many things I couldn’t do but I
Can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again
Oh, I can’t think of anything I wouldn’t try again, try again
Again, and again, and again, and again for you
