One More Try
Ross Wylde Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To that song that you'd sing to bring me back to earth
'Cause I wish that they were easier to face
And that so much could never have to be at stake
And how quickly this could burn
I'm so easy to mistreat
I used to come back every time cause I could never miss a beat
But if you don't have time for me, I'd understand
But I might be gone when you return
But don't feel rushed
Babe, you can take the time you need to adjust
But how long's enough?
You had back
But underneath, my nightmares breath and set their traps
And that's where I'm at
I felt the river rise
I stumbled down into the ground like a child in the dark
All I hoped was that you'd try to keep me dry
And I could hold you like a crucifix at night
But you didn't play your part
But don't run by
Cause' I ain't chasing you for one more try
To win this fight
And don't feel blamed
I know you tried to play this loaded game
And I did the same
I guess we didn't fit
And I know you have to keep on keeping on and I ain't asking you to stay
But I didn't think that you would let my body drip
When you got bored enough to let the dagger slip
And call it a mutual mistake
You've been so cruel
And though I'm young, the time I have won't be enough
To heal these wounds
And bury you
In "One More Try", Ross Wylde laments a failed relationship while searching for closure. He wonders if he can find the words to the song his partner used to sing to him to bring him back to earth, but wishes they were easier to face. He acknowledges that he is easy to mistreat and used to come back every time because he could never miss a beat. He is aware that he might be gone by the time his partner returns, but he doesn't want them to feel rushed if they need time to adjust.
He then describes feeling like he is drowning and hoping his partner would try to keep him dry, but they didn't play their part. Even though he's not chasing them for one more try, he knows that they both played a loaded game and that they didn't fit. Despite this, he didn't think that his partner would let the dagger slip when they got bored enough, calling it a mutual mistake. He ends the song by reflecting on how young he is and how the time he has won't be enough to heal the wounds that his partner has caused him.

Can I find the words
Can I discover the right words to express my emotions
To that song that you'd sing to bring me back to earth
To that melody you made to help me find my way
'Cause I wish that they were easier to face
Because I want to confront them but it's not easy
And that so much could never have to be at stake
And I wish there wasn't so much risk involved
And how quickly this could burn
And it could end abruptly
I'm so easy to mistreat
I'm so vulnerable and easy to take advantage of
I used to come back every time cause I could never miss a beat
I used to return every time because I'm unable to resist
I'd bind you to me if I ever had the chance
I'd make you mine if given the opportunity
But if you don't have time for me, I'd understand
But if you're busy, I wouldn't hold it against you
But I might be gone when you return
But I may have left by the time you come back
But don't feel rushed
But there's no need to hurry
Babe, you can take the time you need to adjust
My love, you can take all the time you need to adapt
But how long's enough?
But how much time will be sufficient?
You had back
You had my back
But underneath, my nightmares breath and set their traps
But deep down, my worst fears come to life and set their traps
And that's where I'm at
And that's my current predicament
I felt the river rise
I sensed the river beginning to overflow
I stumbled down into the ground like a child in the dark
I fell to the ground like a scared child in the darkness
All I hoped was that you'd try to keep me dry
My only hope was that you would try to protect me from the flood
And I could hold you like a crucifix at night
And I could cling to you like a religious relic at night
But you didn't play your part
But you didn't fulfill your role
But don't run by
But don't leave without explanation
Cause' I ain't chasing you for one more try
Because I won't pursue you for another chance
To win this fight
To emerge victorious from this conflict
And don't feel blamed
Don't feel guilty
I know you tried to play this loaded game
I acknowledge that you tried to navigate this challenging situation
And I did the same
And I tried to do the same, too
I guess we didn't fit
I suppose we weren't compatible
And I know you have to keep on keeping on and I ain't asking you to stay
And I understand you need to move forward, and I'm not asking you to stay
But I didn't think that you would let my body drip
But I never imagined you would let me suffer so much
When you got bored enough to let the dagger slip
When you became indifferent enough to cause me harm
And call it a mutual mistake
And claim it was a shared error
You've been so cruel
You've been incredibly unkind
And though I'm young, the time I have won't be enough
And even though I'm young, I don't have enough time
To heal these wounds
To recover from these injuries
And bury you
And leave your memory behind
