If You'd Only Try - Only The Poets

You don’t answer your phone

And I’d go 'round, but you’re never home

I’ve been trying to reach ya

Though I’ve got nothing to teach ya

I can’t leave you on your own

It’s been some months since the breakup

And you’ve been stuck in the dark

Then we have a new lover

Another person to smother

Don’t let it tear you apart

Your words might get lost in the thunder and rain

Wish you could just say

That I could swim in your eyes

And I can tread the tears you cry

You could make it out alive

Darlin', if you’d only try

Don’t slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head

I don’t want you to lose your place

In the game that we call life

Darlin', if you’d only try

When did we get so old?

How could you wish you were younger?

The lives will go deeper

We struggle to heal ya

But it’s no reason to be colder

The love that I have for you might not explain

The things that I wanna say

Like I could swim in your eyes

And I can tread the tears you cry

You could make it out alive

Darlin', if you’d only try

Don’t slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head

I don’t want you to lose your place

In the game that we call life

Darlin', if you’d only try

And all that time, I gave it back to you

Help me to swim in your gaze so blue, your gaze so blue

I could swim in your eyes

And I can tread the tears you cry

You could make it out alive

Darlin', if you’d only try

Don’t slide down the spiral and thoughts in your head

I don’t want you to lose your place

In the game that we call life

Darlin', if you’d only try

Darlin', if you’d only try

Darlin', if you’d only try
