First song of the fabled Silverstone/Douglas songwriting and vocal harmony singing partnership--an auspicious start t' be shar, lads, Arrrr!

lyrics

To Try Another Way
Words and Music by Michael Alan Silverstone and Rob Douglas

I
wanted everyone to know it
But you
could never notice when
I show it
so I was
trying out my fantasy
running far away
but then I just decided this time
to try another way

You
excel at competition
But I’m
only asking you to listen
‘cause I have
taken you to mean to be
just expressing irony
but I know what it means to me now
to try another way

I have always known that you have
such good answers
but I got to get some now
for myself

We
may never get to where we’re hoping
I just have a different way of coping
but we have
lots of opportunity
for plenty of mistakes
it doesn’t worry me at all
to try another way
