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 for good

^ 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

And if you just could hear it, I know we could [ break] through it

I gave my all, but I think my all may have been too much

And Lord knows we're not getting anywhere

Seems we're always blowing [ whatever] we've got going

And it seems at times with all we've got, we haven't got a [ friend]^

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 comes back^ to goodbyes

^ Why can't we get [ ourselves] an end, ^ 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

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, we can [ get] to it

Just [ once]

Thanks for watching!
