We Are Not in This Alone (feat. Penfold & Wandertalk)

"We can skip the wedding," he tells you

"We can just go to the reception.

It'll be fun, we don't have to stay that long"

Things are just getting serious,

so you say yes and you go

And now you’re sitting in a pew

of a church that must bring in more money than a small country

as you watch the man you like watch the woman you now realize he loves

walk down the aisle

You panic, you feel trapped.

The decorum of a room full of strangers

demands you stay put

like a tree with heavy roots watching life grow around it,

helpless to do anything but observe

Out of body, as quiet as you can be,

you get up without saying a word

and press yourself so small

that you slip through the room and out of the hall

"Love is too precious to waste it on settling",

you mutter to yourself

You catch your breath, collect yourself

without looking back

and you go
