Just Once lyrics

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
