Can we skip right to the part when everything's 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've 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

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've found someone new
