Wanna Try

from Menagerie by The Prom Queens

lyrics

Do you want me, babe, the way I want you, or don't you?
Cause I'm trying and crying and failing at playing it cool
Do you miss me baby now that you've up and gone, or don't you?
Cause it's painful and shameful the way that ya make me the fool

Shouldn't be scared, I should feel nothing at all
I never cared, now I'm waiting for your call
So tell me, will you ever ring?

'Cause you
When you lay with me, the moments are just borrowed time
And I
And I should know better than ever that I'll never call you mine
But you make me wanna try

Do you think about all of the things we could be, or don't you?
Cause I'm dying to tell you that it's all that's on my mind
Do you realize I usually don't play these games, or don't you?
I'm not making it hard, so come on, don't be so unkind

Too much to bear, trying to keep it all in
But to be fair, you said you like that I'm genuine
So tell me, is this real enough?

'Cause you
When you lay with me, the moments are just borrowed time
And I
And I should know better than ever that I'll never call you mine
But you make me wanna try

Don't say goodbye now
Just 'cause of some vague someday
Don't tell that lie now
You told yourself that you'd say
You know you wanna stay

'Cause you
When you lay with me, the moments are just borrowed time
And I
And I should know better than ever that I'll never call you mine
But you make me wanna try

With the addition of multi-instrumentalist Josh Perelman-Hall in September of 2019, the glam, harmony-driven folk-pop trio of dreams was formed. ... more
