Try
Unveiling Love's Resilience: Marshall Crenshaw's 'Try'
Lyrics
You know I'll try
You understand that I will make an effort
What good it's gonna do, I can't say
Uncertain of the positive outcome, I cannot predict
But don't you know I'll try
Despite the uncertainty, I want you to know I will attempt
With all my heart every day?
With complete sincerity every day
Though nothing is clear
Although the situation is confusing
And I'm wondering how to save what's left of us now
I'm contemplating how to salvage what remains of our connection
Why don't we try?
Why don't we make an effort together?
Try you and I
Both you and I should try
You know your eyes
Your eyes reveal the emotions hidden in your heart
Reveal all that's locked in your heart
When you sense that everything is falling apart
And whenever you feel
I should be the one providing support for you
Like everything's falling apart
It's not always an easy task to accomplish
I should be the one to come through for you
Expressing commitment to be there for you
It isn't always easy to do
Recognizing that it's a challenging undertaking
But you know I'll try
A reaffirmation of the commitment to try
I'll try till I die
Persisting in the effort until the end of life
Oh no, no, no
Emphatic denial of a negative outcome
The way you move me is a serious thing
Expressing the profound impact you have on me
Oh no, no, no
Reiterating the intensity of emotions stirred by you
Let's wait and see what tomorrow might bring
Suggesting a hopeful approach to the uncertainties of the future
