Jeff Walker - Try Again

lyrics

V1
I thought I had forever
Like we do when we’re so young
When our futures and our feathers are so fine
I let a lot of good ones go
Striking gold was not enough
Thought I’d find something better down the line

V2
You came into my life
And you should have been enough
But like I often did I went astray
But as I’m looking back
Well, it’s so obvious to me
You were the one that got away

Chorus:
Can we try-y-y, try again
(I said) it’s not you it’s me
And that was true
Closed the door behind
Like that would be the end
But it haunts me that decision
To leave you…
Can we try…try again

V3
I’m not making any claim
That I deserve a second chance
Like a little kid who ran away from home
But I’m a better man
A weathered hat in his hand
Hoping love like ours is never really gone

Repeat Chorus

Bridge
Oh but this time will be different
And I pledge it from my knees
I’ll stay with you forever
So one more time I’m asking please

Repeat Chorus
