Solved: mid to late 90s song

[greeklover321]

The chorus begins "c'mon try to live," which is the only words I can remember haha. At one point, before it rolls into the chorus, the singer (male) sings louder and draws out the last word, and it sounds like "...breeeeeaaathe! Cmon live a little ..."

The non-chorus words are softly spoken, almost like a croon, and I imagine it would be a mainstream song. It is a man singing, and the beat isn't too slow or too fast, but it flows.

It isn't really complicated, ie not a lot of instruments.

I know I gave you guys next to nothing, but please try to help!! Thanks!

hiya, i think the song you're thinking of is one headlight by the wallflowers....

So long ago, I don't remember when
That's when they say I lost my only friend
Well they said she died easy of a broken heart disease
As I listened through the cemetery trees

I seen the sun comin' up at the funeral at dawn
The long broken arm of human law
Now it always seemed such a waste
She always had a pretty face
So I wondered how she hung around this place

Chorus:
Hey, come on try a little
Nothing is forever
There's got to be something better than
In the middle
But me & Cinderella
We put it all together
We can drive it home
With one headlight

She said it's cold
It feels like Independence Day
And I can't break away from this parade
But there's got to be an opening
Somewhere here in front of me
Through this maze of ugliness and greed
And I seen the sun up ahead
At the county line bridge
Sayin' all there's good and nothingness is dead
We'll run until she's out of breath
She ran until there's nothin' left
She hit the end-it's just her window ledge

(chorus)

Well this place is old
It feels just like a beat up truck
I turn the engine, but the engine doesn't turn
Well it smells of cheap wine & cigarettes
This place is always such a mess
Sometimes I think I'd like to watch it burn
I'm so alone, and I feel just like somebody else
Man, I ain't changed, but I know I ain't the same
But somewhere here in between the city walls of dyin' dreams
I think her death it must be killin' me

(chorus)


class song, one of my faves!!

hope this helps...!
