Try Again
Georgia June Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Verse 1
Don't put all your mistakes on me
Treat them like they were temporary
Repeated choices,
Don't say sorry
Can't you read, read between the lines?

Verse 2
Little lies, only white to save me
Bite my tongue so you don't get angry
Avoid my eyes, don't look
They're dilating

Chorus 1
Try again baby
Try to make it work
Try again baby
Fix it before it hurts

Verse 3
Pour gasoline, on all your problems
Light it up and watch it burn
Feel the flames, the embers as they
Heat on skin, blood boiling

Chorus 2
Try again baby
Try to make it work
Try again baby
Fix it before it hurts

Bridge A
Can't you see
Your selfish decisions
And your tunnel vision
I don't want to fight, apologise
Your heart ice cold, don't
Let me go

Bridge B
I've lost feelings in my fingers
I've lost feelings in my fingers
I've lost feelings in my fingers

Bridge C
Funny how some things never change
Don't make anymore empty promises
Lifelong scars, across my heart
Sacrifices unrequited

Chorus 3
Try again baby
Fix it before it hurts
Try again
Try again
Try again baby

Try again baby
Fix it before it hurts
Try again
Try again




Try again
Try again

Overall Meaning

In Georgia June's "Try Again," the lyrical theme is aimed at a partner who has caused problems and pain in the relationship. The singer puts distance between herself and her partner by asking them not to blame their faults on her. She urges him to stop with the repeated mistakes and excuses and not use apologies to justify his actions. The chorus serves as a plea to her partner to try and make it work, but to do so before causing additional damage.


In the second verse, the singer speaks about her white lies and biting her tongue to prevent her partner from becoming angry. The third verse describes the explosion to come when all of her partner's issues become too much to bear and the relationship self-destructs. The song's bridge speaks about the toll of her partner's behavior on their relationship and the scar it has left on her heart. The overall musical arrangement is a fusion of pop and rock with a catchy and anthemic chorus that encourages trying again.
