If I knew then what I know now
Things would be different
But what can I say it happens like this
Most of the time for me
If I could be sure things would go well
Just like the people in movies
I would go home and I would wash up
And I would come over to your house

But most of the time I'm walking with cement shoes (dragging my troubles behind)
Most of the time you're walking too close to me
Most of the time I'm counting the rest of this year
There's nowhere to go
So why can't I get there from here

There's nothing to win there's nothing to say
It's just the way it is
I'd like to be brave I'd like to make up
I just can't do it again
If I could be sure things would go well
Just like two people in Kansas
I would go home and I would wash up
And I would come over to your house
