What can I do, what can I say
Running down
this suspicious highway
I can’t forget
how love let me down
And when we meet
it still gets in my way.

But we’re already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
‘Cause we’re already one
Our little son won’t let us forget.

Your laughing eyes,
your crazy smile
Every time I look in his face
I can’t believe
how love lasts a while
And looks like
“forever” in the first place.

But we’re already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
‘Cause we’re already one
Our little son won’t let us forget.

In my new life I’m travelin’ light
Eyes wide open for the next move
I can’t go wrong ’til I get right
But I’m not
fallin’ back in the same groove.

But we’re already one
Already one
Now only time can come between us
‘Cause we’re already one
Our little son won’t let us forget.
