One More Try
Longview Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm sorry I never listened
I was selfish with my time
I know you don't believe me now but you were always on my mind
I know I've had two chances
You've already said goodbye
But please just reconsider once and give me one more try

Give me one more try
Give me one more try
Give me one more try
Give me one more try

Too much time on my hands lately
And I think too much
I think I'm out of touch
But all that's changing now
'Cause I've seen right through
But I won't see through you

Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Give me one more try
Give me one more try
Give me one more try
Give me one more try

Dark clouds hang overhead
And obscure the view
When all along I knew
Still go sprightly now
There's fresh air today
This flame hasn't faded you say

Come with me
Come with me
Come with me
Give me one more try

I'm sorry I never listened
I was selfish with my time
I know you don't believe me now but you were always on my mind
I know I've had two chances
You've already said goodbye
But please just reconsider once and give me one more try

Give me one more try

I'm sorry I never listened
I was selfish with my time
I know you don't believe me now but you were always on my mind
I know I've had two chances
You've already said goodbye
But please just reconsider once and give me one more try

I'm sorry I never listened
I was selfish with my time
I know you don't believe me now but you were always on my mind
I know I've had two chances
You've already said goodbye
But please just reconsider once and give me one more try





Give me one more try

Line by Line Meaning

I'm sorry I never listened
I regret not paying attention


I was selfish with my time
I prioritized my own interests over yours


I know you don't believe me now but you were always on my mind
I was constantly thinking of you but failed to show it


I know I've had two chances
I acknowledge that I've messed up twice before


You've already said goodbye
You've given up on me and ended our relationship


But please just reconsider once and give me one more try
I'm asking you to take a chance on me again and give me another opportunity to make things right


Too much time on my hands lately
I've had too much free time and it's made me realize my mistakes


And I think too much
I overanalyze things and worry too much


I think I'm out of touch
I believe that I've lost my connection to you


But all that's changing now
I'm determined to make positive changes in our relationship


'Cause I've seen right through
I now understand what went wrong before


But I won't see through you
I will pay attention to your needs and perspective from now on


Dark clouds hang overhead
There's been a lot of negativity and obstacles in our relationship


And obscure the view
It's been difficult to see a clear path forward


When all along I knew
Despite this, I've always known deep down that I want to be with you


Still go sprightly now
I'm feeling optimistic about our future together


There's fresh air today
Our relationship feels renewed and positive


This flame hasn't faded you say
You still have feelings for me and haven't given up hope


Give me one more try
I'm pleading with you to give me another chance
