About This Track
'Try' captures the aftermath of a relationship, the singer caught between longing and resignation. The lyrics move between moments of contact and absence, between what was promised and what was withheld. There is a particular ache in the gap between desire and restraint, between knowing the way forward and choosing not to take it. The track sits within Coexist as a moment of relative warmth, the band gazing directly rather than whispering at a distance. It holds the album's characteristic restraint but lets the emotional weight settle plainly: the question of whether trying again would yield anything real, or whether belief itself has become impossible.
"Try" is a track by The xx, from the album Coexist, released 4th September 2012. The track is 3:15 long. It's filed under Alternative. Full lyrics are available below. Dork has published 15 articles about The xx.

Lyrics
We bide our time, though the time is fine Oh, to be there, I could be there, say you'll be there You know the way, I, can't resist you, I, said to myself I'd try Why do we waste time, hiding it inside? I want you to be mine Now it's been and gone, you say what you would have done You would've been there, I wished you'd been there, I needed you there And if we try once more, would you give me it all? I won't believe it, til I can feel it, can you feel it? You know the way, I, can't resist you, I, said to myself I'd try
