Wedding Night

I met you on a wedding night.
You were sitting across from me
At the table of the friends of the bride.
I could see you smiling
In the corner of my eye.
Who wouldn’t with teeth so white,
And sittin’ pretty with a red dress on?
I knew you knew I was hiding.
I always seem to be.
The thing is I was treading and I
Was drowning darling.
I finally got up, sat by your side,
Now we were talkin’ honey.
Ladadadadada
Was I just dreaming? My
Love was a Camilleon.
It was shifting, changing,
It was so conflicting,
And now I’m telling lies.
Could you tell I was lying?
I always seem to…
I met you on a wedding night.
Were we already dying?
It was only a matter of time.

How Long?

My love, our time is over...
How long will you stay?
I’ve been dying to tell you about the night
We went our separate ways.
I know before I told ya
I won’t share ya, but hey
Audrey on the wall is thinking otherwise
I wonder what she would say...
You should know I’ve grown a little older
And I’ve matured and I’ve changed
Enough to admit to you that you were right.
Let’s try it out your way.
I know you’ve got to go now,
But how long will you stay?
If you leave me in the middle of the night
I'll take you down to my grave!

You & I Would Die
04:27
|
|||
|
You were lying on my chest
And told me I like darkness,
That it soothes me and I find
It comforting. Though happiness
And I are really not the best
At getting on, I thought we tried.
I should say your assessment
Wasn’t wrong, but it's just
I didn't know you were right
And then I sat there in the silence
Ignorin’ what you’d said.
I should've known that it was time.
Did you think you’d be in California when you and I would die?
From that funny little moment
We’d hardly be speaking
Up until it was time
To talk about the ending
Of the two of us as one and
That maybe more could make it right.
“Can we just talk about the end and
How we know now it was just timing?
There’s no need to take a side.”
Yes I surely hope you miss me,
I know that’s really not how it should be...
Baby I want you to be alright.
Did you think you’d be in California when you and I would die?
Now, to face the truth, which is:
That you’ve finished your dissertation
And it's time to take a ride
To upstate New York. The city is
Far, but close enough if i’m moving
To that coast to realize
My dreams. Am I just dreaming?
Is this the end? Or am I just scheming
To keep keeping on you and I?
Now it’s the end, oh yes it is
And I know I’ll be ok with it,
But not ‘till after we say goodbye.
Did you think you’d be in California when you and I would die?
