At The Wedding

At the wedding you refused to dance
Because the music was all wrong
And you added, neither of us dances anyway
And I agreed

To the question of where I think we’ll be
In a year or two from now
I’ve been trying not to be so overconfident
And you agreed, that used to be enough for for me

Rushed into the street with my hair down
Rushed into the street with my hair down
Panglossian, delta of Venus
These bachelorettes have started singing

(My love) it’s only an accident (your love, your love)
I know anything at all could happen (your love, your love)

At the dinner we were wondering
If the toasts would ever happen
If you should’ve thought of something
Simple you could say, and I agreed

At the hotel, couldn’t help but hear
The party spill out onto the patio
Their voices held in midair like a promise
That nobody here would be
Getting a little bit of sleep oh no, oh no

Rushed into the street with my hair down
Rushed into the street with my hair down
Panglossian, Delta of Venus
These bachelorettes have started singing

It could be fine take all my time
If I had a dime I’d pay
Listen to the sound, impossibly loud
Now somebody’s started singing
I tell myself, I tell myself to be better
This hour is lasting forever

Making their rounds bringing me down
Like they wanted to be found out
Listen to the sound impossibly loud
I can hear their voices ringing
Sound of their feet like thundering wings
Like they wanted to be found out
Running all the time I got half a mind
Now somebody’s started singing
