I dressed up like a catholic
and I got drunk the fastest
I threw my love in a ring of fire
to burn burn burn
we used to wear our backpacks
and makeout just for practice
but after today we'll stay this way
from now until our caskets
I don't mind
if you don't love me all the time
no that's fine
I think we'll still get by
I made a list of reasons
to stop me from committing
it feels so wrong
it's so damn long
these were actual suspicions of mine
but I remember when I feel left out and beaten
you come in from the kitchen
you'll fold some clothes, but you know I know
you're simply there to listen
as I whine
baby you shouldn't mind
if I don't love you all the time
no that's fine
I think we'll still get by
so with these church bells a'ringin
the overwhelming smell of linen
buying presale tix to heaven's gate
before I'm actually admitted
I'll give up all my passions
and take some online classes
a balance beam
forget my dreams
it ain't ever gonna happen
but I don't mind
I'm pretty sure I love you at this time
and that's just fine
we're going to need it to get by
so I guess I'll start relaxing
and finally do my taxes
I'll do my best to be a normal man
because I know that's all you're asking
but oh my girl
I'm a fool
and I will always be unstable
so play it cool
don't break my heart
and please don't turn evil
because that shit can happen
even to good people
and before you know it
our kids are devils
and with a heavy sigh
the world is forced to deal
with their behavior
because of irresponsible people
that raised them up
with no examples
AND LET THEM PUT OTHER PEOPLE DOWN
(the worst thing you could ever do)
but that won't be us
that isn't us
that won't be us
and that's a reason to be excited
