Try
Madison McFerrin Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I know it's a fight
To try and listen
'Cause I might not know what to say
Selfishly I'm worried
You might run and hide
Selflessly you're learning
I hold onto pride
But no sacrifice
Comes without mistakes
And we could fly
Take a leap of faith
It's time to decide

Try
Try
Try

Out here feelin' scared
But at least I'm livin'
Unprepared to walk away
I won't let the same thing, no
Stop us every time
But why is it that changing, oh
Feels like a goodbye

But no sacrifice
Comes without mistakes
And we could fly
Take a leap of faith
Look inside, oh
Don't you hesitate
We should fly
Take a leap of faith
It's time to decide

Try
Try
Try

What is it you're waiting for
It's time to open up your eyes and see
See, see, see
You are what you're waiting for
Just open up your eyes
It's time to see
See, see, see

What is it you're waiting for
It's time to open up your eyes and see
See, see, see
You are what you're waiting for
Just open up your eyes




It's time to see
See, see, see

Overall Meaning

The song "Try" by Madison McFerrin is about the struggle to communicate effectively in a relationship, and how it takes effort and vulnerability to make it work. The singer acknowledges that it's difficult to really listen to her partner, but understands that it's important to try in order to maintain the relationship. She also expresses a fear of losing the other person if she's not able to express herself properly. However, she recognizes that there are no guarantees in life, and that taking risks and making mistakes is necessary in order to grow and achieve the things that we want.


The chorus "Try, try, try" serves as a reminder that although it may be difficult, it's important to keep working at the relationship and trying to understand each other. The lines "What is it you're waiting for?/It's time to open up your eyes and see/You are what you're waiting for/Just open up your eyes/It's time to see, see, see" suggest a call to action, urging both partners to be more honest and transparent with each other in order to make the relationship work.


Some possible themes that can be drawn from the song include the importance of communication, the idea of taking risks and making mistakes in order to succeed, and the need for vulnerability in order to maintain a strong and healthy relationship.

We should fly
we should make the bold move and take a chance


It's time to decide
it's time to make a decision and commit to it
