Try Alone

If you want to try, try alone
If you want to try, c'mon try alone

Your clock it isn't ticking if you don't believe in time
Your words aren't religious if you don't believe in signs
The news doesn't claim you if your leader is inside
The worth of forgiveness is a ride
A war of grace

If you want to try, try alone

May your space be soft when you're with him, with her
Think of luck and the taste of remedy
Think of seeds you're wishing on
The pact you made as a child: to dig and dig and dig
And to unknow what you know again and again
That grace is below the clay, the dirt, you dig
From Earth a sound you know

Fingers sinking into muddy water it feels nice
You bring one hand to your cheek
It smells like history and places you won't go
Maybe you hear her sing
When you're really listening
Really listening

You're covered in the dirt
Covered in the light
Covered in the
Covered in the dirt
Covered in the dirt
Covered in the dirt
And you'll be forgotten so another can try

If you want to try, if you want to try, try alone
