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
