Why Can't We?

We're lying so silenlty,
underneath the moonlit sky.
imagining our lives together,

You whisper all your thoughts.
I smile back and I agree,
I can't think of anything better.

So why don't we get things started?

Three months pass so fast,
we lay together in your bed.
Imagining our lives together,

I whisper all my thoughts,
you smile back and you agree,
I can't think of anything better.

So why don't we get things started?

Six months later we're in love,
we're taking chances on the phone,
talking about our life together,

your picket fences around our home.
I tell you that I agree,
I can't think a thing that'd look better.

So why don't we get things started?

It's been a year and things are changing,
you're going so far away,
I tell you all my thoughts,

you tell me everything will be okay,
I shed a tear and make you promise,
you tell me softly it's for the better.

So why can't we be where we started?
