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 nothing ever changes,

we're back to bein' 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.

(Yeah)

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,

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.
