Just Once

I did my best, but I guess my best wasn't good enough

'Cause here we are, back where we were before

Seems nothin' ever changes

We're back to being strangers

Wonderin' if we oughta stay

Or head on out the door

Just once, can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?

Why we never last for very long

What are we doin' wrong?

Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right?

To make the magic last for more than just one night

If we could just get to it

I know we could break through it

I gave my all, but I think my all may have been too much

'Cause Lord knows we're not getting anywhere

Seems we're always blowin'

Whatever we've got goin'

And it seems, at times, with all we've got

We haven't got a prayer

Just once, can we figure out what we keep doin' wrong?

Why the good times never last for long

Where are we goin' wrong?

Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right?

To make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we could break through it

If we could just get to it

Just once, I want to understand

Why it always comes back to goodbye?

Why can't we get ourselves in hand

And admit to one another

We're no good without each other?

Take the best and make it better

Find a way to stay together

Just once, can we find a way to finally make it right?

Whoa, to make the magic last for more than just one night

I know we could break through it

If we could just get to it

Just once

Whoa

We can get to it

Just once
