I Tried Lyrics

You tried to take me to Heaven
But I lost you along the way
I tried to find you in seven
Hundred thousand different ways
I tried to break into heaven
But they laughed, and turned me away
I tried to change the weather
For a month, for a year, no sea was calm

(x2)
Even though I said to you
I could see your soul and I know
I could feel your life as it grows
I could see the wind as it blows

You tried to teach me a lesson
But I laughed, and turned you away
I tried to stop and it's seven
Hundred thousand there's no way
To shape the things that I'm missing
To sharpen the space that you've known
I tried to change to another
But fear for the worst when the sea was gone

(x2)
Even though I said to you
I could see your soul and I know
I could feel your life as it grows
I could see the wind as it blows

Slow down, slow down
Where's the loving?
You gotta stay close, stay close, stay close

(x2)
Even though I said to you
I could see your soul and I know
I could feel your life as it grows
I could see the wind as it blows

You tried to take me to Heaven
 But I lost you along the way
 I tried to find you in seven
 Hundred thousand different ways
 I tried to break into heaven
 But they laughed, and turned me away
 I tried to change the weather
 For a month, for a year, no sea was calm

(x2)
 Even though I said to you
 I could see your soul and I know
 I could feel your life as it grows
 I could see the wind as it blows

You tried to teach me a lesson
 But I laughed, and turned you away
 I tried to stop and it's seven
 Hundred thousand there's no way
 To shape the things that I'm missing
 To sharpen the space that you've known
 I tried to change to another
 But fear for the worst when the sea was gone

(x2)
 Even though I said to you
 I could see your soul and I know
 I could feel your life as it grows
 I could see the wind as it blows

Slow down, slow down
 Where's the loving?
 You gotta stay close, stay close, stay close

(x2)
 Even though I said to you
 I could see your soul and I know
 I could feel your life as it grows
 I could see the wind as it blows

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
