I don't want to talk about the old days any more
I've set aside all the unsettled scores
But nonetheless the past still casts a shadow on me


I could walk away without a second glance
The way things panned out down to random chance
But nonetheless the logic's far beyond me
Oh no! I guess I must have said yes
Oh no, I must have said yes


So now I find I'm in a parlous place
Repenting at leisure for what I did in haste
All my past promises are catching up on me


Oh no, I guess I must have said yes
Although I'm inclined to digress
I know I must have said yes


And if blame's attached to anybody
It'll be me
I'm the one who said that I agree
I apologize to everybody
What else can I do?
Now I'll do my best to see it through
I've got no other option
No excuses, no stewing in my juices
Denial is useless, holy cow
With precision my everyday decisions
Have led me to be in the here and now

I'll be right here and now for what it's worth
Hoist on my own petard as I am
But let's not talk about the old days


Except to say the consequences run
To be plain, what's over isn't done
And you thought you were only having fun


Oh no, I guess I must have said yes
Although I was under duress
I know I must have said yes


Though I don't know quite what happened to me
How the story went
Somewhere on the way I gave consent
