Aaron Neville Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When this crazy life of ours is slow
And I guess thats why fools like us rush in
Where wise men never never go
In time we may find out why
These walls we build seem so high
But Ive gotta believe that we can break through
And all we have to do to make it last, oh yeah
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove is try a little harder, try a little harder
Youre the wildfire in my life
Always burning out of my control
Sometimes you cut me like a knife
Deep into my heart
Way down to my soul
But somehow we survive
And we get another chance to make it right
But I gotta believe that we know which path to choose
And I gotta believe that somehow we will see it through
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
Each precious moment that we share
Is locked up in my heart forever more
I just need to know that you really care
When you touch my hand
Swear Im gonna fall apart
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it groove
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
All we have to do to make it last
Is try a little harder, try a little harder
The lyrics of Aaron Neville's song "Try" talk about the challenges that come with love and how sometimes we need to start fresh and try harder to make it work. The song begins with the recognition that sometimes we need to start from scratch when life becomes slow or unexciting. The singer mentions that these moments can sometimes lead us to make hasty decisions, like rushing into things, and that wise men would never do that. The song concludes with the belief that despite the challenges and disagreements, we can make love work if we just try harder.
The song then goes on to talk about the challenges that come with love. The love between the two parties is like a wildfire, always burning out of their control. Sometimes the love cuts like a knife, deep into their hearts and souls. However, despite all the challenges, they have survived and been given a chance to make things right. Through it all, there is a recognition that every moment shared is priceless and treasured.
Overall, the song is one of hope and belief that love can work, even through difficulties. It encourages people to keep trying and to believe that, through effort and determination, love can be the lasting and beautiful thing that we all hope it will be.
