One More Try
Clint Crisher Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I've had enough of danger
And people on the streets
I'm looking out for angels
Just trying to find some peace
Now I think it's time
That you let me know
So if you love me
Say you love me
But if you don't just let me go

'Cause teacher
There are things that I don't want to learn
And the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

When you were just a stranger
And I was at your feet
I didn't feel the danger
Now I feel the heat
That look in your eyes
Telling me no
So you think that you love me
Know that you need me
I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
Just let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I don't want to learn
Oh the last one I had
Made me cry
So I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because it ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

So when you say that you need me
That you'll never leave me
I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
Let me go

And teacher
There are things
That I still have to learn
But the one thing I have is my pride
Oh so I don't want to learn to
Hold you, touch you
Think that you're mine
Because there ain't no joy
For an uptown boy
Who just isn't willing to try

I'm so cold




Inside
Maybe just one more try

Line by Line Meaning

I've had enough of danger
I am tired of being in danger


And people on the streets
I am tired of the people on the streets


I'm looking out for angels
I am searching for goodness


Just trying to find some peace
I am searching for tranquility


Now I think it's time
I realize it's time


That you let me know
That you tell me what you really feel


So if you love me
If you truly love me


Say you love me
Tell me that you love me


But if you don't just let me go
But if you don't, please set me free


'Cause teacher
Because I am addressing my teacher


There are things that I don't want to learn
There are things that I refuse to learn


And the last one I had
And the last experience I had


Made me cry
Caused me to cry


So I don't want to learn to
So I don't want to learn how to


Hold you, touch you
Embrace you or touch you


Think that you're mine
Believe that you are mine


Because it ain't no joy
Because it will not bring me joy


For an uptown boy
For a privileged boy like me


Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye
Whose teacher has given up on him


When you were just a stranger
When I first met you


And I was at your feet
When I was completely devoted to you


I didn't feel the danger
I was oblivious to the risks


Now I feel the heat
Now I feel the pressure


That look in your eyes
The expression on your face


Telling me no
Indicating that your answer is no


So you think that you love me
So you believe that you love me


Know that you need me
Know that you depend on me


I wrote the song, I know it's wrong
I know that this song is problematic, even though I wrote it


Just let me go
Please allow me to leave


So when you say that you need me
So when you claim that you require me


That you'll never leave me
That you will never abandon me


I know you're wrong, you're not that strong
I know that you are mistaken because you don't have that much strength


Let me go
Please allow me to leave


And teacher
And I am talking to my teacher again


There are things
There are still things


That I still have to learn
That I still have to discover


But the one thing I have is my pride
But the one thing I have is my self-respect


Oh so I don't want to learn to
So I refuse to learn how to


Hold you, touch you
Embrace you or touch you


Think that you're mine
Believe that you exclusively belong to me


Because there ain't no joy
Because that won't bring me happiness


For an uptown boy
For a privileged boy like me


Who just isn't willing to try
Who is simply unwilling to make an effort


I'm so cold
I am emotionally distant


Inside
Internally


Maybe just one more try
Perhaps I can attempt one more time
