If We Try
Boyzone Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

You've been walkin around starin into space
Carryin' a load like a heavy case
When it's not enough
It's not enough

And all the beautiful things that you used to love
Taking walks in the rain and all that stuff
When it was enough
It was enough

Oh hey!
Here's a little invitation
Time to have a little conversation

If we try
We might just find
We can fly
If we try

Caught you lookin in the mirror, lookin back at me
There's a truth in your eyes only I can see
When you're still in love
You're still in love

With a bottle of red, knowing me and you
We can work it out in a glass or two
Maybe there's enough
There's enough

Oh hey!
Here's a little invitation
Time to have a little conversation

If we try
We might just find
We can fly
If we try

Hey!
Here's a little invitation
Time to have a little conversation

Have a life, have a love
And I feel like I'm going home
Have a life, have a love
And I feel like I'm going home

If we try
We might just find
We can fly
If we try

If we try
If we try




If we try
If we try
