Technically Married

Babe, are you sure? Could you just be going through a phase or something?
I stop believing you when you kiss my shoulder.
But now there’s a monster; this separation anxiety.
Even though you’re right here, there are boundaries.
Given it’s time to sleep, given you’re about to get really busy.
But healthy distractions weaken our silent times.
You see right now, we’re technically married.
Someday somehow, I want to make it real.
But you say right now, you don’t know how that’s possible.
Cuz the way that you feel for me is not what it used to be.
You say it’s always easy to fall in love early on.
You could have married anyone in the first few months.
I said it’s foolish but I’ve wanted to marry you, since I was
Fifteen in that class we both had.
I fell harder than I’ve ever fallen before or since.
You didn’t know but I’ll have you know it hasn’t worn off yet.
You see right now, we’re technically married.
Someday somehow, I want to make it real.
But you say right now, you don’t know how that’s possible.
Cuz the way that you feel for me is not what it used to be.
Cuz if you love me, I’ll avoid you. And if you destroy me, I’ll live for you.
Cuz if you love me, I’ll live for you. And if you destroy me, I’ll live for you.

Do Better

Head, settle down. Now it’s the morning. And I’ve actually got some things to do.
But yours is right there, and I don’t want to wake you if you’re not in the mood.
Got a bad taste in my mouth from what you told me, and I couldn’t believe enough to be true.
I can’t leave all the times we had behind or the love that we shared in this house.
I’m gonna waste our together time on wondering when you’ll say bye-bye.
Why do you think you can do better? Am I a waste of time cuz I didn’t blow your mind?
Why do you think you could do better? Am I a waste of time cuz I didn’t change your life?
Yes, I wonder where we’ll land. Neither of us has a plan.
I’m not surprised you feel lost.
I’m responsible, somewhat.
We’re both responsible, that’s the cost.
Least you could do is keep talking about it.
Least I could do is stop just singing about it.
For me it’s true, I based my life around you.
Should we do that? Do you plan to do that?
Why do you think you can do better? Am I a waste of time cuz I didn’t blow your mind?
Why do you think you could do better? Am I a waste of time cuz I didn’t change your life?
