Try
Cosmic Gate Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
'Cause I don't like leaving things unwound like this, do you?
Two steps forward, one step back
Moving too slow, you're way off track
But are we out of our minds?
Out of our minds, out of our minds
Try, put our egos aside
It's all I'm asking us to do, I still love you
Try, put our egos aside
Why can't we just try?
It's all I'm asking us to do, I still love you
Try, put our egos aside
Why can't we just try?
That's all I'm asking us to do, I still love you
