“Try to Make It Anyway” was written in response to Taylor Swift’s “Hey Stephen.” Taylor and Stephen met while his band Love and Theft opened for her 2009 Fearless Tour, though the two never dated.
[Verse 1]
The curly hair and the cowboy boots
How could anyone get over you?
They must have really been a big ol' fool baby
'Cause I can't help it when I look at you
Every piece of me comes undone
Tell me girl that you feel it too
Oh tell me, won't you tell me
[Chorus]
'Cause this could be the real thing baby
If we let it go, we'll just regret it and we'll be sorry
If we don't lay it on the line, we'll be wasting time
And everything inside of me is telling me yes
That it's you and me honey, it's our chance
This world is going crazy
So baby what do you say?
We'll try to make it anyway
[Verse 2]
We'll take a walk to the river baby
Bring our guitars and let the music play
I don't care if it rains all day baby
'Cause we can go where we wanna go
Like New York honey, it's our show
And we won't listen if they tell us no, no way
[Chorus]
'Cause this could be the real thing baby
If we let it go, we'll just regret it and we'll be sorry
If we don't lay it on the line, we'll be wasting time
And everything inside of me is telling me yes
That it's you and me honey, it's our chance
This world is going crazy
So baby what do you say?
We'll try to make it anyway
[Bridge]
La la la la la la
[Chorus]
'Cause this could be the real thing baby
If we let it go, we'll just regret it and we'll be sorry
If we don't lay it on the line, we'll be wasting time
And everything inside of me is telling me yes
That it's you and me honey, it's our chance
This world is going crazy
So baby what do you say?
We'll try to make it anyway
[Outro]
Your curly hair and your cowboy boots
How could anyone get over you?
He must have really been a big ol' fool baby
