Could we begin from a blank page?
Should we ignore the bitter past
Forget our mistakes of last
As we return to the old stage
Could we begin from a blank page?

Could we write a fresh new line?
Starting with a simple Hello
Let the chips fall where they may go
Pretending everything is fine
Could we write a fresh new line?

Could we erase the words said?
Leave our traumatic pain behind
Wipe clean our aching minds
Forget this haunting sense of dread
Could we erase the words said?

Could we go back to what we were?
When everything was simple
Before the old ‘us’ were crumpled
To pray for guidance and succour
Could we go back to what we were?

Could we relate again? I wish I knew
We must have changed a lot since then
We thought we were spirits of kin
How hard to say "I miss you too"
Could we relate again? I wish I knew

I wish I knew ...
