Another disco-influenced track on Music Complete. Bernard Sumner’s guitar and Tom Chapman’s bass are reminiscent of another New Order influence: Chic.
The man is desperate to fix his relationship, remembering their past history and believing that this love is the best thing he can get in life.
[Verse 1]
If you love me in the night
I will come and make it right
I need your love, I want your love
When you're not there, I think of us
We're like the sun, we're burning bright
We've gotta try to get it right
I need your love, I want it now
We've got to make it work somehow
[Chorus]
I'll keep trying
It's all gonna be alright
This time we'll get it right
I'll keep trying
I can't get any higher
There's nothing I desire
[Verse 2]
The ghost of you is in my heart
Sometimes it feels we're worlds apart
I look back to the day we met
When first you got inside my head
I need your love, I need your love
It's everywhere and it's for us
If you love me in the night
I'll come to you, I'll make it right
[Chorus]
I'll keep trying
It's all gonna be alright
So come with me tonight
I'll keep trying
I can't get any higher
There's nothing I desire
[Outro]
This time I thought
It would be eternal
I'll keep trying
I'd open the door
I've been here before
And here I stand
I'm a shadow of a man without your love
I'll keep trying
