    Story Behind the Song
    This is another example of telling myself to do something. It's partly "listen to your own advice" and partly a cry for help.

    The first version of this song had cheesier lyrics and really un-hip drum programming. I think it's much better with the acoustic guitars.

    Lyrics
    i admit there may be
    a degree of uncertainty
    maybe we will never really know
    on occasion i regress
    it causes a lot of stress
    maybe there's no other way to go

    be a little smarter
    try a little harder
    some things are easier said than done
    i will hold out longer
    i feel so much stronger
    even though i feel
    like giving up again

    if there is another way
    i hope that it's here to stay
    i hope that this all becomes a blur
    i don't mind yoru questioning
    i don't mind your pestering
    i don't mind having to eat my words

    be a little smarter
    try a little harder
    some things are easier said than done
    try a little longer
    be a little stronger
    even when you feel
    like giving up again

    sometimes i join the line
    to discuss privately
    you are there, always there...

    there is something telling me
    i will be fine... probably
    when it happens, will you let me know?
    even with some sound advice
    there will always be a price
    hopefully i'll have something to show

    be a little smarter
    try a little harder
    some things are easier said than done
    try a little longer
    be a little stronger

    there is nothing harder
    than trying to be smarter
    some things are easier said than done
    try a little longer
    i feel so much stronger
    even when you feel
    like giving up again
