I told her she was pretty but I never loved the way she dressed
She didn’t need to know anyway
Running through my mind like the Macarena in grade 6
Staring at your face for the day
And we both knew
Forever with you
Still so much we don’t know, but we wouldn’t let go in that schoolyard
Dreaming of you
Dreams can come true
There’s a month left to ask but I will after class in the schoolyard
Two
Shoulder glancing while you’re running even faster far away
Whatever you can do to leave it all behind
I collided with you stumbling on in the other way
The blind trying hard to read the blind
But I said I do
To something old and something new
While my heart led the way on a cold winter day at that churchouse
The bills were past due
But we thought we’d get through
On the wonders and signs the most glamorous lies at that churchouse
Then we got pretty far in our getaway car from that churchouse
Two
I told her she was pretty but she couldn’t hear a word I said
She didn’t wanna hear it anyway
Running through my mind is everything I should’ve left unsaid
Now we’ve run all out of words to say
When you said I do
Was it true?
‘Cause now we’re going downtown, it’s 3pm now, to the courthouse
When you said I do
Was it true?
Cause now we’ve got papers to sign, a house on the line, and that courthouse
By then we both knew
There’d be no breakthrough
Cause now we’re going downtown to the last hearing now at the courthouse
The dreams of I do
Had never come true
Cause now the papers are signed, the house is untied, and that courthouse
