about

Written one morning as an elaborate fiction.

lyrics

I want to marry you
So we can have a child
And it can be the gender I didn't want
I want to live with you
So when I burn dinner
And burn my hand trying to fix it
You can show me no sympathy
I want to talk you into buying a house
So that we can never leave
Never ever leave
Never never ever be apart
Let's get married

I want to move to your hometown
When I really wanted to move to mine
I want our child to resent us
For moving him from his friends
I want your family to hate me
For seeing what I've done to you
Every year at Christmas
Your dad will think about poisoning me
I want you to day drink
And put on weight
So you hate yourself that little bit more
Little bit more than I do
Little bit more than I do
I love you
Let's get married

I want you to think about the man
You left for me
How he was funny and cool
And you loved his Albanian accent
I want you to go to karaoke
And sing the Smiths
Like you mean it
When you start crying
I'll pretend
That I didn't see it
I want us to have sex
And think about the girl
We both lost our virginities to
It was in our twenties
How embarrassing
It was the same girl
I love you
I love you
Let's get married

Your dreams of being a singer
I still play my guitar
In the neighbourhood bar
The perfect daughter I imagined
And all the things we'd teach her
Our house with a Colorado backyard
Our white picket fence
And our jobs on the internet
I'll never forget
How I loved you
On that corner in New York
And we were young
Full of stram and drung
And you were pretty
I wasn't so shitty
Before the loans
And the baby weight
And holidays at the Super 8
I love you
Let's get married
