Try
Coby James Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
When there′s just so much to say?
How do I translate a feeling that I've never had to communicate?
You have a way with words
Say things I′ve never heard
You watched me stumble my way through expressing myself
I'm a piece of work
Are changing everything I thought
I knew
I wish I could show you
But there's no way to say "I love you"
Rearrange letters and rhymes
But, there′s no explaining it right
Blindly shooting arrows
Oh, I can′t get close
Nothing could ever dеscribe
But, just know that I'll always try
Wrote you a lettеr twice
Ran out of room to write
Thought that I′d better just tell you
But I don't know how ′cause my tongue is tied
You're such an extrovert
Something I′m trying to learn
I keep my feelings in bottles and some are just harder to open up
There's no way to say "I love you"
Rearrange letters and rhymes
But, there's no explaining it right
Blindly shooting arrows
Oh, I can′t get close
Nothing could ever describe
But, just know that I′ll always try
I'll always try
Just know that I′ll always try
I'll always try
Just know that I′ll always try
Oh, you
Are changing everything I thought
I knew (You)
There's no way to say "I love you"
Just know that I′ll always try
Just know that I'll always try
The song "Try" by Coby James explores the struggle of expressing deep feelings to someone you love. The first verse starts by asking a rhetorical question of how one can consolidate all their feelings into words. The singer then goes on to admit that expressing these feelings is something he's never had to do before. He admits that the listener has a way with words that leaves him speechless. The chorus emphasizes the difficulty of expressing love through words. The singer admits he's tried everything from rearranging letters and rhymes to shooting arrows blindly, but nothing ever seems to describe his feelings perfectly.
The second verse highlights the struggle the singer faces being an introvert and trying to open up to someone who is an extrovert. He likens his feelings to bottles, some of which are harder to open up than others. The repetition of the phrase "I'll always try" in the chorus demonstrates the singer's unwavering commitment to expressing his love, even when words fail to capture the depth of his emotions.
Overall, "Try" is a heartfelt and relatable song that captures the universal struggle of expressing love through words.
