A Little Favor

from Toward Orange by Short Hand

lyrics

Baby, I've been trying hard to be someone you'd want a lot
To be someone you’d need a lot
To be someone I’m not, you know, I'm trying.
What else can I do but try really hard to be
The person deep inside of me
The person that you've never seen, I’m trying.
What else can I do but try?
And if you've got a good attitude
I think you'll see that I’ve improved.
You'd be doing me a favor.
I could use a little favor
Every single day of the year.
Last night I was thinking hard about the loss at Gettysburg,
About the speech that Lincoln gave,
About the endless graves…
You know I'm trying.
Trying really hard to be something than other than
Just a man who tries…
What else can I do but try?
From January to December, please consider your calendar full.
Maybe in the near future I'll rise above this voodoo soil,
I'll hover way up in the sky
I'll try to say your name. O baby,
Really what else is there but your name?
