One More Try
Fretland Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Snows comin' down
the peonies springing up from the ground
wonder if I could talk you back to this town
I'll pour the wine, let you get it all out

you know I don't wanna sing the blues
all of my life
Cause every song would be about you

and giving it one more try
Tears still in my hair
I can feel your eyes, the way that you stare
If I go to meet them, would you care?
For this space between us, for this space between us
you know I don't wanna sing the blues
all of my life
Cause every song would be about you
and giving it one more try
you know I don't wanna sing the blues
all of my life
Cause every song would be about you
and giving it one more try, try
Try, try
You know I don't wanna sing the blues
all of my life
Cause every song would be about you

and giving it one more try, try
Try, try
