One More Try
Longview Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Longview's "One More Try" depict a person who has come to regret not paying enough attention to the person they loved. They acknowledge their selfishness and lack of effort, and express a desire for another chance to make things right. The repeated phrase "give me one more try" emphasizes their desperation and sincerity, and the verses describe the singer's recognition of their mistakes and their hope for a second chance. The bridge offers a sense of optimism, with the idea that change is possible and that the singer has come to understand the importance of their loved one.

The song can be seen as a reflection on relationships and the importance of communication and effort. It highlights the difficulty of admitting fault and asking for forgiveness, while also demonstrating the potential for growth and resolution. The repetition of certain phrases and the use of simple, direct language help to convey the emotional intensity of the singer's plea.

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
