Why can't you try

Your smile is now etched in the center of my mind
you're on your way to work and I'm thinking about our time
I wish our pages matched each other but I can tell you're way behind
I might need to turn my page to end up getting some peace

I know you know or I think you know or I hope you know
that I am right for you and good for you I know you know
but your fear and worry about the past is preventing me to get through
your baggage shouldn't be mine since I don't get to call you mine

Why can't you try why can't you try to open up and take a chance
I'm standing here, I'm willing to fall, it's nothing you haven't done before
it gonna be it's gonna be a better road than before
I can't promise anything but I can promise to be real and be me.

You're a big boy running away from something that might be great
You like to complain about your time alone but your the one to blame
Don't look away it won't fulfill that knot in your heart that hurts from before
I've been hurt too, it's nothing new, but baby baby Im standing here for you

Why can't you try why can't you try to take a chance on something new
why can't you say why cant you say that this might work one day
I'm in the same boat, I'm scared to fail, but I want to sail with you
ride the waves, feel the breeze, baby baby this is all brand new

I'll be your best friend I'll be your lover I'll stay honest and not smother
I might have rules, but I like to just wing it with you
see what comes up and not plan to mess anything up
but c'mon already it's time it's time to try this thing, I know it's the REAL THING!

Why can't you try why can't you try to take a chance on something new
Why can't you see why can't you see that this is a good thing you and me
We can play we can be we can cherish what we already have
we can make a new plan and figure something that joins both our hands...

Why can't you try why can't you try why can't you say why can't you say
why can't you see why can't you see baby baby this is real between you and me.
