[verse 1]
You say I'd best be going
Cause it's getting late
And I say
Why don't I walk you home
Cause it's on the way
But the last time
That we made love, you left in tears
So this time
You're wondering how to leave it here
And I haven't seen you
Since last winter break
And I know that I broke your heart
But always such a smart one
Always so intelligent
You must know that I took it hard

[chorus]
Oh, baby I think we both know
This is the love that we won't get right
Still if you said that you wanted
I know I'll always have one more try
Oh, baby, I think we both know
This is the love that we won't get right
Still if you said that you wanted
I know I'll always have one more try

[verse 2]
You pull
That face like, 'here we go again'
So I pull
A flask out the back of my jeans
And then you take a pull
And in my mind we're in my bed
And I'm pulling
Your sweater up over your head
And I haven't seen you since last winter break
And I know that you hate how that went
But always such a smart one
Always so intelligent
You must know what's happening

[chorus]
Oh, baby I think we both know
This is the love that we won't get right
Still if you said that you wanted
I know I'll always have one more try
Oh, baby, I think we both know
This is the love that we won't get right
Still if you said that you wanted
I know I'll always have one more try

[bridge]
Oh it's magnetic, isn't it?
The sense of something underneath the surface
When you're laying on thin ice
Just a little bit masochistic
A tentative ellipses
The parting of your lips
And the ache in your eyes
But I think I'm gonna kiss you

[chorus]
All despite
What we both know

This is the love that we won't get right
Still if you said that you wanted
I know I'll always have one more try
Oh, baby, I think we both know
This is the love that we won't get right
Still if you said that you wanted
I know I'll always have one more try
