[Verse 1] Midnight coffee getting cold on the dash Looking at your window like I'm made of glass Everybody tells me that I'm chasing a ghost Running after sunlight on the hardest coast You wear that diamond smile like it's a shield Keeping everybody out of what is real And I know the answer was a flat goodbye Still I find a reason just to catch your eye [Pre-Chorus] Every time you turn away I swear I hear the music play [Chorus] Oh, you're the mountain I'm climbing in the pouring rain A sweet addiction that's driving me insane I can't have you, baby, no matter what I do Still my heart is heavy and it's beating loud for you Yeah, I keep on trying, yeah, I keep on trying [Verse 2] Suit and tie is soaked through the velvet night Waiting by the corner for your parking light Your friends all warn me that you'll break my pride Like I haven't already got nowhere to hide You treat my devotion like a passing trend Dancing on the border where the shadows end [Pre-Chorus] Every time you turn away I swear I hear the music play [Chorus] Oh, you're the mountain I'm climbing in the pouring rain A sweet addiction that's driving me insane I can't have you, baby, no matter what I do Still my heart is heavy and it's beating loud for you Yeah, I keep on trying, yeah, I keep on trying [Bridge] Let the brass section rise up to the ceiling now Can you hear the choir shouting out what I'm feeling now? If loving you is foolish, then I'm a willing fool Breaking every rule in your private school (Swing it!) [Guitar Solo] [Funky bass and wah-wah groove] [Chorus] Oh, you're the mountain I'm climbing in the pouring rain A sweet addiction that's driving me insane I can't have you, baby, no matter what I do Still my heart is heavy and it's beating loud for you [Outro] Just one dance Just one look I'm hooked (Keep on trying) Won't stop now (Keep on trying) Oh, let the strings swell up [Fade Out]
