This is a sequel to 2001's "Reckless Abandon", and features the band looking back on their clumsy youth fondly.
We were so in love the day love started
Who would think that we would soon be parted?
I just can't believe it's true
I make this appeal to you
Can't we talk it over? Let's talk it over
Before you tell me you're through
Can't we sit together and figure whether
This is the right thing to do?
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over before it's over?
Before you whisper goodbye forever, let's talk it over, dear
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over before it's over?
Before you whisper goodbye forever, let's talk it over, dear
Who would think that we would soon be parted?
I just can't believe it's true
I make this appeal to you
Can't we talk it over? Let's talk it over
Before you tell me you're through
Can't we sit together and figure whether
This is the right thing to do?
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over before it's over?
Before you whisper goodbye forever, let's talk it over, dear
I hate the thought of spending nights all alone
Missing the thrill of nights that we've known
Can't we talk it over before it's over?
Before you whisper goodbye forever, let's talk it over, dear
