Marrying You

(2 X) Marrying you is like finding the perfect pair of shoes And hoping they’ll fit forever Marrying you is believing that everyday I’ll wake up in white sheets Warmed to beyond my own cocoon of blood and bone Marrying you is scary; it’s lucky and confusing Marrying you is building this house of wax and wood, Color and quiet, hope and holy Marrying you is something I’ve never done before and Hope to never do again, at least not with anyone else Marrying you is one of the most exciting things I’ve ever done I get to wear the most beautiful dress I hope our friends and family love us as we love them I hope they come, I hope they have fun Cause this day is for everyone uh uh uh… Marrying you is full of to do lists and appointments It’s a massive river we’re swimming in, sometimes drowning in Marrying you is floating judgment off our backs on to the shore Hoping it doesn’t slap some other pair as they float by The straight people say… “Huh, two women getting married, how unusual.” And the gay people say… “Why do you want to imitate straight culture anyway?” If they tell me that I’m brainwashed, I’ll say it’s washed alright (With) so much warmth, I couldn’t stay cold So much comfort, I couldn’t stay alone So much love I just couldn’t say no… I couldn’t say no… I just couldn’t say no
