Lyrics

I know we got some history
We got some issues that we need to solve
But is it really such a mystery?
It's just the way that the world evolves
Let me ask you for forgiveness baby
My heart is ever full of sorrow
We got to move into the future maybe
And think about a new tomorrow

She said you know I used to love you baby
But you're thinking way too fast
So forget about the future
And let's get on with the past.

So they called a 'nited Nations summit
To negotiate for peace on Earth
And it may idealistic baby
But I know what peace of mind is worth
Everybody aired their grievances
And they threw away the suture
They opened up all the wounds of the past
As they failed to find their way to the future

They said we'd better check the weather chart
Before we tie our colors to this mast
And it's too hard thinking about the future baby
So let's just get on with the past

She said we'd better check the horoscope honey
Just in case this feeling wasn't meant to last
It's just too hard thinking about the future
So let's just get on with the past

How many times you ever hear me say
IÂ’m as flawed as any other human being?
But there simply has to be a different way
A whole new way of seeing
Are we doomed by all our history
Is our love really beyond repair?
But it's getting close to midnight baby
And we ain't got time to spare

Just when I think IÂ’m home and dry
And she's given up the fight
There's an unmistakable optimism
In romantic music and candlelight
But there's this lingering perfume
The merest ghost of the past
She says now wait a minute baby
We're moving way too fast
We'd better check the weather chart
Before we raise this mast
We'd best consult our horoscope
In case this feeling wasn't meant to last
Let's just forget about the future
And get on with the past
