Riverbend Drive from Public Transit by Public Transit

I tried to see you on the day you died
It’d been so long but I got stuck outside
Thought of all the nice things to say
Couldn’t say them when the time came

Yeah I tried (x3)
I tried so fuckin hard
But all the words came flowin out wrong

I tried to see you on the day before
I knocked and knocked at the front door
I walked miles to the local bar
Told the barkeep I had not walked far

Yeah I tried (x3)
I tried so fuckin hard
To be the one you waited for

I tried to see you at the funeral
Flowers in my hand were blooming full
I missed the service cus I woke up late
I walked in and they had locked the gate

Yeah I tried (x3)
I tried so fucking hard to see you one goddamn last time

I tried to see you when I went to heaven
The gate was open wide, I came in runnin
I saw you standing there your eyes went wide
I swear I saw a glint in your eye (in your eye)

Yeah I tried
Yeah I tried
I tried so fuckin hard
And all the words came tumbling out right
Yeah I tried
Yeah I tried
I tried so fuckin hard
And I was all of a sudden the man you meant for me to be
