So I’ll try... (Baby...) And try... (Baby, ooh..) And try... (For you, for you, for you) [Verse 1] Midnight in my room, I’m replaying your smile Said “just friends” but I’m hoping you’ll stay a while Saw you look away, but I swear I saw a spark So I’m back on your street, even after dark I don’t care if it’s wrong, no I don’t care if it’s right If it takes all my nights, I’ll be here every night ‘Cause your heart’s got a door, and I’m patient at the gate If it’s 99 no’s, I’ll be number one hundred, wait [Pre-Chorus] Tell me how many roads that I gotta walk down How many words ‘til the silence don’t make a sound How many “maybe laters” before you see That the only place I wanna be is where you’re keeping me I’m gonna try, and try, and try, and try again ‘Til your “no” turns to “maybe,” then to “come on in” I love you, yeah I do, ain’t no pretendin’ If it takes a thousand times, girl, I’m never endin’ I’ll be the sunrise after every rain you’re in I’ll keep on callin’ ‘til you say my name Yeah, I’ll try everything, every way, every day ‘Til you love me back, or you tell me to stay[Chorus] [Verse 2] Brought you coffee cold, ‘cause I ran through three red lights You said “you’re too much,” but you smiled, and that’s a sign Learned your favorite songs, even cried to your sad ones Wrote your name in the stars, now the sky weighs a ton Your friends say I’m crazy, say I should let this die But love ain’t got logic, and truth don’t know goodbye So I’m learning your language, every tear, every scar If your heart’s a locked room, I’m the key to where you are [Pre-Chorus] Tell me how many storms that I gotta stand through How many lies ‘bout “I’m fine” ‘til the truth comes true How many lonely nights before you believe That I’m the one who will never leave I don’t wanna change you, I just want you to see The way you light up rooms don’t ever shine on me But I’ll water your garden, even if it ain’t mine ‘Cause real love don’t count hours, real love don’t count times So if you need a year, girl, I got time to spend If you need a lifeline, I’ll be back again Ain’t no pride when it comes to you I’d lose every battle just to win you[Bridge] [Breakdown - spoken/sung softly] One try... two tries... three tries... A hundred cold nights outside your door... I’d do it all once more ‘Cause you’re worth it... you’re worth it all [Final Chorus - key change, bigger] I’m gonna try, and try, and try, and try again ‘Til your walls come down and you let me defend All the love you’re scared to give, all the pain you pretend If it takes a thousand lives, girl, I’ll do it again I’ll be the sunrise after every rain you’re in I’ll keep on callin’ ‘til you say my name Yeah, I’ll try everything, every way, every day Don’t care how long it takes, I’m here to stay I’m here to stay... I’m here to stay... ‘Til you say my name So I’ll try... (Baby...) And try... (Baby, ooh..) And try... (For you, for you, for you) So I’ll try... (Baby...) And try... (Baby, ooh..) And try... (For you, for you, for you)
