Skating on a river
Sleeping on a bus
I really thought I could
Forget about us
Oh no, oh no

Every smile is crying
Every lie is true
Every day I run
Into something that reminds me
Of you, hey you

If I knew then what I know now
It would have been a different situation
I should have known somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you’re around

Had too much to drink
And got a tattoo
Desperately in need
Of something that I wanted to do
For you

If I knew then what I know now
I could have understood the complication
I should have known somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you’re around

And I wonder
Who will be sleeping in my bed?
Who will be picking the roses?
Who will share the pillow I dream on
When rain falls all over my blue lakes?
Over my lost brakes?
Over my mistakes?

If I knew then what I know now
We could have made a wonderful creation
I should have learned somehow
That love is such a beautiful thing
Love is such a beautiful thing
When you’re around
