I fell asleep on a late night train 
I missed my stop and I went round again 
Why would I want to see you now? 
To fix it up, make it up somehow 

Baby I'll try again, try again 
Baby I die every night, every time 
What I was isn't what I am 
I'd change back but I don't know if I can 
Still I'll try, try again, try again 
Baby I die every night, every time 

But I was made the way I am 
I'm not a stone; I'm just a man 
Lay down your arms and I will lay down mine 
Rip back the time that we've been wasting 

God I wish you could see me now 
You'd pick me up and you'd sort me out
Baby I'll try again, try again 
Baby I die every night, every time
