The Marriage
Love's Evolution: Unraveling the Layers of Commitment in 'The Marriage'
Lyrics
I understand you needing
I understand your needs
And wanting is no crime
Wanting is not a crime
But I can't help feeling
But I feel that you and your mother are wasting time
That you and your mother are just wasting your time
Choosing Saturdays in Summer
Choosing specific moments for happiness
I dare you to wear white
Challenging tradition by wearing white
Love is just a moment of giving
Love is a fleeting moment of giving
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right
Marriage is acknowledging our parents were right
I just don't understand it
Perplexed by the notion
What makes our love a sin
Questioning why love is considered a sin
How can it make that difference
Wondering if a ring makes a difference
If you and I are wearing that bloody, bloody ring?
If I share my bed with you
Sharing a bed raises the question of sharing a life
Must I also share my life?
Love is just a moment of giving
Love is a fleeting moment of giving
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right
Marriage is acknowledging our parents were right
You just don't understand it
This tender trap we're in
Feeling trapped in the complexity of love
Those glossy catalogs of couples
Criticizing societal expectations through catalogs
Are cashing in on happiness again and again
Capitalizing on happiness repeatedly
So drag me to the altar
Accepting the societal norm of marriage
And I'll make my sacrifice
Willing to make sacrifices for marriage
But love is just a moment of giving
Love is a fleeting moment of giving
And marriage is when we admit our parents were right
Marriage is acknowledging our parents were right
Marriage is when we admit our parents were right
I say marriage is when we admit our parents
-Were probably right
Affirming that marriage is admitting our parents were probably right
