|
The written word was just enough |
|
To keep us going when the world would get a little tough. |
|
And I held you up when winter came, |
|
And no one said a thing when everything became so very |
|
Complicated, complicated, complicated, they said. |
|
The spring held nothing but suprise, |
|
And all that we ignored was opened to our eyes. |
|
And I said, \"Then maybe we should settle down, |
|
Find a cottage or a tunnel underground.\" |
|
And we'll be complicated, complicated, complicated, |
|
They said we would be |
|
Complicated, complicated, complicated they said. |
|
Oh, I should've known |
|
Oh, we'll have to go |
|
Back to the way that we were |
|
Before we were us, |
|
Before I was me, |
|
Before we were happier than I've ever been |
|
Than you'll ever see, |
|
'Cause that's the way it has to be. |
|
The way it has to be. |
|
We felt the summer on our skin. |
|
We curled up in the warmth and let each other in. |
|
And I asked, \"Have you felt this way before?\" |
|
You turned to me, said, \"No, I'll be forever yours.\" |
|
And we'll be complicated, complicated, complicated, |
|
They said we would be |
|
Complicated, complicated, complicated, they said. |
|
Oh, I should've known. |
|
And I said oh, |
|
We'll have to go |
|
Back to the way that we were |
|
Before we were us, |
|
Before I was me, |
|
Before we were happier than I've ever been, |
|
Than you'll ever see |
|
'Cause that's the way it has to-- |
|
I would push and you would pull away from me |
|
My heart would bleed |
|
And I'd say things I didn't mean |
|
To try and get you back to me. |
|
We've bent the rules, played the games |
|
And never said we felt the same. |
|
We ended things like we began |
|
And feared what we became. |
|
So we'll go back to the way that we were |
|
Before we were us, |
|
Before I was me, |
|
Before we were happier than I've ever been, |
|
Than you'll ever see, |
|
'Cause that's the way it has to-- |
|
Back to the way that we were |
|
Before we were us, |
|
Before I was me, |
|
Before we were happier than I've ever been, |
|
Than you'll ever see, |
|
'Cause that's the way it has to be. |
|
That's the way it has to be. |
|
The way it has to be. |
