Love in our hearts, we didn't know the world is complicated

Gleam in our eyes, time would show just what our love was made of



Who knew the way things work in this world we've made for ourselves?

Where I work myself to death, and you raise the kids



Can't we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?

To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?

And that I just fell in love with you at the Anchor Grill



Money and time we didn't know they'd be so hard to come by

"Look and you'll find"? We didn't know, that's just some fabled school rhyme



We'll never get ahead in this world

Not ‘til we move ahead of this world we've made for ourselves

Where there's no time to kiss, and no room to even breathe



Can't we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?

To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?

And that I just fell in love with you

At the Anchor Grill

It's our life, it's standing right in front of me

It's our time, and we know the way we wanna be

Can't you see?



So let's drop the kids at your folks, let's go

Where it's never too late for breakfast

And everything's gonna get better



Can't we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?

Can't we try to amend our path of struggle for a while?

To pretend our lives are free and carefree still?

‘Cause I just fell in love with you

At the Anchor Grill
