Words By: Neil Diamond, Doug Rhone, Hadley Hockensmith The more you explain, the less I feel assured The closer I came, the more you'd hide And here's what I think, we better get in touch Wish I could tell you everything was alright Wish everything was alright The bigger the thrill, the more we're gonna pay You figure the bill, it's gonna bite The higher we get, the more we're hanging on Wish I could tell you everything was alright Wish everything was alright And I know, I know, I know I love you We can make it what we want it to be You know, you know, you know you love me So ask yourself where does it lead? The more we expect the less we're gonna find Whatever we get is gonna go And here's what I think we better stay in touch Wish I could tell you everything was alright Wish everything was alright Wish I could tell you everything was alright, yeah Wish everything was alright
