One More Try

My friend and I have dicussed the meaning of this song. He and I both came to the same conclusion.

I've had enough of danger And people on the streets I'm looking out for angels Just trying to find some peace Now I think it's time That you let me know So if you love me Say you love me But if you don't just let me go...

THIS IS ABOUT A PERSON WHO IS TIRED OF GIVING HIS LOVE WHEN HE KNOWS IT COULD BE DENIED. HE IS TIRED OF SEEING EVERONE ELSE HAPPY AND HE WOULD LIKE TO FIND SOMETHING REAL. HE WOULD LIKE TO FIND THE SAME PEACE AS EVERYONE ELSE. HE WANTS TO FIND SOMETHING REAL. AND IF THIS PERSON DOESNT LOVE HIM THEN THAT PERSON NEEDS TO BE HONEST AND LET HIM GO.

'Cos teacher There are things that I don't want to learn And the last one I had Made me cry So I don't want to learn to Hold you, touch you Think that you're mine Because it ain't no joy For an uptown boy Whose teacher has told him goodbye, goodbye, goodbye

THIS "TEACHER" IS SOMEONE MAYBE OLDER BUT SURELY WISER AND HE IS SAYING THAT THERE ARE CERTAIN HURTS THAT HE DOESNT WANT TO LEARN. HE DOESNT WANT TO HOLD OR TOUCH THIS PERSON AND HAVE FAITH THAT THIS PERSON IS "HIS". BECAUSE THERE WILL BE NOTHING BUT SADNESS IN THE END IF THIS "TEACHER" SAYS GOODBYE. HE IS GOING TO MAKE THE CHOICE TO SAY GOODBYE HIMSELF.

When you were just a stranger And I was at your feet I didn't feel the danger Now I feel the heat That look in your eyes Telling me no So you think that you love me Know that you need me I wrote the song, I know it's wrong Just let me go...

HE SPEAKS OF WHEN THEY FIRST MET AND THAT THE FEELINGS WERE NOT SO STRONG AND SO HE DIDNT FEEL THE DANGER OF LOVING THIS PERSON. BUT NOW HE TRULY FEELS IT. HE CAN SEE THE LOOK IN THE PERSONS EYES AND HE CAN SEE THAT THIS PERSON DOESNT WANT TO BE WITH HIM. HE IS ASKING THIS PERSON TO STOP MAKING HIM FEEL WANTED BECAUSE HE KNOWS THAT ITS WRONG AND HE IS ASKING TO JUST BE LET GO.

CHORUS AGAIN

So when you say that you need me That you'll never leave me I know you're wrong, you're not that strong Let me go

HE IS ASKING AGAIN TO BE LET GO BECAUSE HE KNOWS THE WORDS THIS TEACHER SPEAKS ARE UNTRUE.

And teacher There are things That I still have to learn But the one thing I have is my pride Oh so I don't want to Hold you, touch you Think that you're mine Because there ain't no joy For an uptown boy Who just isn't willing to try

HE SPEAKS OF HIS PRIDE AND HE KNOWS THAT HE IS STRONG ENOUGH TO LEAVE AND MAKE THIS CHOICE FOR HIMSELF AND THAT HE IS NOT WILLING TO TRY ANYMORE.

I'm so cold Inside Maybe just one more try...

BUT IN THE END HE IS GOING TO GIVE IT ONE MORE TRY!
