[Verse 1]
I look up, see them in the sky far above the rain
Must be a good life, flying up so high, no chances miss their eyes
But then the clouds open up to the rainbow above
I watch as they all pass me by, so many questions in my mind

[Pre-Chorus]
When things get tough and the world’s too much
A coffee break with me could be what you need
It’s my time to say “It's gonna be okay”
Because with every end another trial begins

[Chorus]
Trial and error, trial and error
“Goodbye” then “Hello,” uphill then downhill
Trial and error, one more step forward
Trial and error

[Verse 2]
I look back, remembering the start before it all went dark
You could be so far and still light up my heart, teenage superstar
But lately I haven’t seen that smile that way
Life can bring you to your knees, so get back up and just believe

[Pre-Chorus]
When things get tough and the world’s too much
A break with cake and me could be what you need
It’s your time to say “It's gonna be okay”
This heartbreak and sorrow might be there tomorrow
[Chorus]
Trial and error, trial and error
“Goodbye” then “Hello,” uphill then downhill
Trial and error, one more step forward
Trial and error

[Bridge]
In the spotlight, don’t you be surprised if life doesn’t feel bright
Breaking new ground’s the hardest road to take when loneliness awaits
But now I know I’m not alone on this upward slope
One step forward to the sky, this time I’m gonna reach the light

[Pre-Chorus]
When things get tough and the world’s too much
The next round’s on me ’cause I see what you see
It’s our time to say “It's gonna be okay”
Smile ’cause we’re free, tonight we’re gonna dream

[Chorus]
Trial and error, trial and error
No need to worry, we’ve got each other
Trial and error, one more step forward
Trial and error, now press “continue”
