Marriage Material
I went to an antique shop today
And saw old-fashioned valentines
"The Women's Guide to Love and Fortune"
A wedding band from '99
I met a couple by the letters
Of long-lost lovers off to sea
The woman shared her greatest treasure
"Darling, this one belongs to me"
So call me childish now to hope
That we'll exchange those forbidden notes
Your wedding froze and "I object"
The T for Troy around my neck
'Cause no good love story comеs easy
Just wait and see, then you'll beliеve me
I need some time to get this right
So I'm sorry I can't date you now
I'll probably screw it up somehow
I need to save the best for last, I'm serious
Oh, why would I ruin such perfect marriage material?
We stroll like old folks in the suburbs
We're leafing novels, drinking tea
I stumbled on a boy so precious
I'll save him for the final scene
You'd laugh your old soul out to know
That I have planned out how this goes
I've learned that every young love fails
I've loved but never truly cared
So if you'll do me the quite the honor
Be single in fourteen autumns
And finally, we'll reunite
So I'm sorry I can't date you now
I'll probably screw it up somehow
I need to save the best for last, I'm serious
Oh, why would I ruin such perfect marriage material?
My god, I love your family
And my brothers actually like you
I'm so damn nervous
You're the first crush I've ever had to lie to
But it's with purpose
If I let you go and be the one that got away
We'll live all the stories that we'll tell our kids one day
So I'm sorry I can't date you now
I'll probably screw it up somehow
I need to save the best for last, I'm serious
Why would I ruin such perfect marriage material?
