My father sits at night with no lights on | |
His cigarette glows in the dark. | |
The living room is still; | |
I walk by, no remark. | |
I tiptoe past the master bedroom where | |
My mother reads her magazines. | |
I hear her call sweet dreams, | |
But I forgot how to dream. | |
But you say it's time we moved in together | |
And raised a family of our own, you and me - | |
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: | |
You want to marry me, we'll marry. | |
My friends from college they're all married now; | |
They have their houses and their lawns. | |
They have their silent noons, | |
Tearful nights, angry dawns. | |
Their children hate them for the things they're not; | |
They hate themselves for what they are- | |
And yet they drink, they laugh, | |
Close the wound, hide the scar. | |
But you say it's time we moved in together | |
And raised a family of our own, you and me - | |
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be: | |
You want to marry me, we'll marry. | |
You say we can keep our love alive | |
Babe - all I know is what I see - | |
The couples cling and claw | |
And drown in love's debris. | |
You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds, | |
But soon you'll cage me on your shelf - | |
I'll never learn to be just me first | |
By myself. | |
Well O.K., it's time we moved in together | |
And raised a family of our own, you and me - | |
Well, that's the way I've always heard it should be, | |
You want to marry me, we'll marry, | |
We'll marry. |
