can we skip right to the part when everything is okay
when the rocky path we trod is far enough away
when we can remember the good times and have a laugh
when it's clear in both our minds we'd never take it back
you'll tell me that you like my new shirt
i'll tell you that i love your new shoes
i'll let you know it's so good to see you
you'll let it slip you found someone new
can't we just agree that this is not the way to go
that we've had more than enough of the devil we know
it has grown so tall and it's got a mind of its own
if we let it loose you know it'll chew us to the bone
