Try Again
Navigating Love's Maze: Teyana Taylor's 'Try Again' Reflections
Lyrics
I said things that I don't mean
I expressed thoughts that don't truly reflect my feelings
You did things you can't take back
You committed actions that cannot be undone
Maybe we should let it go
Suggesting the possibility of ending the relationship
Or maybe we should try again? Yeah
Contemplating the idea of giving the relationship another chance
Maybe we should try again? Yeah
Reiterating the suggestion to try again
Or maybe we should try again?
Posing the question of whether to attempt a reconciliation
Try again, try again, try again, yeah
Emphasizing the theme of trying again
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah
Repeating the emphasis on attempting a fresh start
A part of me is telling me I should leave you alone
Feeling an internal conflict about distancing from the partner
But I know eventually I'ma pick up the phone
Anticipating the eventual decision to reconnect
Like, "Where you at? Where you is? What you doing? How you been?
Imagining reaching out with questions about the partner's life
Been a while since we chilled, you should bring it by the crib"
Suggesting a desire for the partner to visit the speaker's home
Now, I ain't tryna erase history
Clarifying the intent not to erase shared history
We'll be enemies with memories, yeah
Acknowledging the potential for a strained relationship with memories
I said things that I don't mean
Repeating the admission of expressing misleading thoughts
You did things you can't take back
Reiterating the acknowledgment of irreversible actions by the partner
Maybe we should let it go
Suggesting reconsideration of ending the relationship
Or maybe we should try again?
Repeating the contemplation of giving the relationship another try
Try again, try again, try again, yeah
Repeating the emphasis on attempting reconciliation
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah
Continuing the emphasis on trying again
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah
Further emphasizing the theme of making another attempt
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah
Reiterating the emphasis on trying again
It's been a long time since I left you
Highlighting the extended period since the speaker left the partner
I had to step back to step through
Explaining the necessity of stepping back before moving forward
Steph moves, flex moves
Describing impressive and deliberate movements, potentially in the relationship
Whole crew let loose but I choose to choose you
Choosing the partner despite other options
I know why you're running from me
Acknowledging the partner's attempt to avoid the speaker
Smart enough to know you really love me, yeah, yeah
Asserting the partner's genuine love despite attempts to distance
I know ain't no other body for me
Recognizing the exclusivity of the relationship
Didn't wanna lose those memories, yeah, yeah
Expressing the reluctance to lose shared memories
I said things that I don't mean (I said)
Repeating the admission of expressing misleading thoughts
You did things you can't take back (oh whoa)
Reiterating the acknowledgment of irreversible actions by the partner
Maybe we should let it go
Suggesting reconsideration of ending the relationship
Or maybe we should try again? (Try again, oh)
Repeating the contemplation of giving the relationship another try
Try again, try again, try again, yeah (try again, oh)
Repeating the emphasis on attempting reconciliation
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah (try again, oh)
Continuing the emphasis on trying again
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah
Further emphasizing the theme of making another attempt
Try again, try again, try again, try again, yeah
Reiterating the emphasis on trying again
