Give me time to think it over I'm not ready to begin I just need a little space to clear my head We were dogs caught in a fury Thirsty for each other's blood I just don't know if it's safe To be standing face to face 'Til we're both ready to change and walk as one Oh, dear friend How did we come to this? Who are we If we can't set aside our differences? It ain't 'forgiveness and not forgotten' Always hung above our heads Are we willing to erase The scroll of wrongs? How are we to be united When our hands are always sinning? We can wash away the filth Stand hand in hand as friends It's the rules we have to bend To walk together Oh, dear friend How did we come to this? Who are we If we can't set aside our differences? Time can be our sweet companion But it won't resolve dispute We are bound to follow footsteps of our fathers It ain't easy to be honest But it's what we gotta do We have both ourselves to blame So let's talk about your pain You can hear about my pain We can say each other's names without resentment Oh, dear friend How did we come to this? Who are we If we can't set aside our differences? Oh, dear friend It doesn't always have to be like this Who we are Is more than the sum of all our differences
