Lyrics:

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 bein' strangers
Wonderin' if we ought to stay or head on out the door

Just once can't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Why we never last for very long, what are we doing wrong
Just once can't 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 heart but I think my heart 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't we figure out what we keep doin' wrong
Why the good times never last for long, where are we going wrong
Just once can't 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't we find a way to finally make it right
Oh, 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 can get to it, just once
