She started coming down She's high up in airplane Descending on our town And I, I let my vision blur The lights reminded me of her And the way I let her down But I'm getting older And I know that nothing's changed I've got to let her go And the truth is I'm better off alone No sense in dragging someone else along And I know that she knows She said, you'll lie wide awake at night Thinking about the battle between you And I know it's not about who wins Sometimes it's better to give in You've got to learn to try again I'm taking to the road The desert looks so desolate As I'm reaching for the phone And this static reappears This signal's keeping me from her And what she needs to hear Oh but time's pa**ing slowly I'm so lonely without her She's absent from my world
And the truth is I'm better off alone No sense in dragging someone else along And I know that she knows She said, you'll lie wide awake at night Thinking about the battle between you And I know it's not about who wins Sometimes it's better to give in You've got to learn to try again Come, come on, oh, ooh, ooh Come, come on, oh You'll lie wide awake at night Just thinking about the battle between you And I know it's not about who wins Sometimes it's better to give in I lie wide awake at night Thinking about the battle between you And I know it's not about who wins Sometimes it's better to give in You've got to learn to try again Oh, sometimes it's better to give in, oh, oh I lie wide awake at night Sometimes it's better to give in You've got to learn to try again
