Can’t do it
like we did it then.
Bills past due
and we’re still burning paper.
Unknown is still unknown,
but we’ve found the courage
to venture a little deeper.
In some ways
we’re even stronger.
in other ways
we’re weaker than
we ever were before,
but that’s okay.
We’re finding our way
through all of this.
When I tell you
that I have had my doubts,
it’s only because
I have found things
to be doubtful.
Only a fool
would choose certainty
in this world
where the only absolute
is God Almighty.
But that doesn’t mean
that I doubt you.
no.
Not for a second.
It’s time we let
some of those old ideas go.
They’ve long since
proven useless.
Both of us
have carried them this far,
but from here on
we’re gonna have to thin out.
Drop the extra baggage,
get down to essentials,
and learn to live
light and easy.
No,
we can’t do it
like we used to.
Time has eaten up
all the easy miles
and we’re
living just the hard ones now.
Time to pay the cheque.
I love you.
And I love
that we’re in this together.
I wouldn’t have it
any other way.
