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 passing 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
