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 being strangers

Wondering if we oughta stay

Or head on out the door

Just once

Can we figure out what we keep doing wrong?

Why we never last for very long

What are we doing wrong?

Just once

Can we find a way to finally make it right?

To make the magic last for more than just one night

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

Lord knows we're not getting anywhere

Seems we're always blowing

Whatever we got going

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 doing wrong?

Why the good times never last for long

Where are we going 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 come 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

We could get to it

Just once
