You know, for some reason, the song Doing the Best I Can has never been a favorite of mine. I've always kind of disliked the song all together. But recently, I downloaded the demos from Ivory Keys (what an amazing page!), and wow, I'm totally crushing on this song now. Funny how things like that change sometimes.
Like the previous lyrics I posted, this has some pretty major alt lyrics from the released version.
Doing the Best I Can (5:30)
Talking 1st
We were just looking for the beat, I’m punching sound stuff,
but mostly I’m just looking for a beat.
It was one
for you
It was three
for me
It was very
nice
It was you
and me
So here it
is
In little
pieces
She says
sometimes it hard
And I never
like changes
Oh but you
change your mind
Then you
change it all around again
Just like a
game she says
Then you change
your mind
It’s just a
game she says
And the
clock is unwinding
Prepare for
her departure
Well she’s
always leaving
Your priorities
are ancient
Well they say
she’s always down with the broken hearted
These are
ancient
Well they says
she’s always down
With the
broken hearted
He says, oh
I hear you’re doing fine
And you’re
doing the best that you can
Says I hear
you’re fine
And you’re
doing the best that you can
Made of the
finest silk
She made her
final plans
Said nothing
She go up and
hill and come down again
And the
whispered secrets
They go on
and on
You say
anything to anyone
She says
sometimes it’s hard
And I never
liked changes
So you
change your mind
And you
change it all around again
She says it’s
just the finer things
She says I
like to go fast
He says well
you like to it
Save me a
place she says
Racing with
the wind
She says
sometimes this is hard and I
Never like
changing
Save me a
place she says
Race with
the wind
He says oh I
hear you’re doing find and you’re
Doing the
best that you can
He says oh I
hear your find
And you’re doing the best that you can
