One More Try
Clea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I am the child
Trying to learn how to forgive
Don't wanna miss out
On the dream I'm to live

You're the believer
Trying to undo what has been done
We are together
We're the birds trying to fly
Gotta try one more time

(Chorus)
Every moment you better show it
Cause I'm gonna give you one more try
My heart says I have to
And deep down I want to
So I'm gonna give you one more try

Da Da Da Da gonna give, gonna give you one more try Da Da Da Da (Da Da Da Da)

I'm holding the candle
And I'm waiting to feel that spark again
Your eternal fire has survived in the wind
Now that I'm giving in

CHORUS

Da Da Da Da gonna give gonna, give you one more try Da Da Da Da (Da Da Da Da)

We're the birds trying to fly
Gotta try one more time
And if I forgive you
If I forgive and you don't forget
It means its not over yet





(CHORUS and Ad Libs to fade)
