lyrics

Green eyed beauty queen
The loveliest person I have ever seen
Ventured into a place I’ve never been
But you just smiled and took my hand,
Whispering soft and delicate sacrements
You’re so goddamn intelligent
Your mind has captivated mine
And I know there’s a lot that we’re up against

But darlin I’ve gotta try if there’s a shred of a chance
Sometimes you’ve got to learn to loosen your grip
And if it fails and loneliness is our inheritance
At least we tried our best
At least we tried our best

Last night you visited me in my dreams
Walked hand in hand beneath blooming magnolia trees
The reflection in your emerald eyes, the cool breeze
Can’t help but think of how these things could end up haunting me
But you interrupt my thought and say you’ll never leave
Do you promise? Do you promise? Do you promise me?
Being with you feels like betting on a sure thing
But I know that can feel sort of unsettling

But darlin I’ve gotta try if there’s a shred of a chance
Sometimes you’ve got to learn to loosen your grip
And if it fails and loneliness is our inheritance
At least we tried our best
At least we tried our best

And I have watched the sunrise with you
on separate coasts
And I have seen those lyrical eyes shine in the blue light glow
And when you dipped your toes into the pacific i was on the phone
From 2,000 miles away I could tell the water was cold
We are quickly approaching the summer’s end
I gotta tell ya - she was never my favorite

But darlin I’ve gotta try if there’s a shred of a chance
Sometimes you’ve got to learn to loosen your grip
And if it fails and loneliness is our inheritance
At least we tried our best
At least we tried our best
And I am haunted, you say you’re guarded - but I still see you anyway
Isn’t it something to be seen?
Isn’t it something sweet?
At least we tried our best
At least we tried our best
