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
