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 ought to stay
Or head on out the door

Just once
Can we figure out, 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
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 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?
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
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 give ourselves a hand?
And admit to one another
We're no good without each other
Take the best to make it better
And find a way to stay together

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

Oh, we could get to it
Just once
