The Inerrancy of You and Me

If we just tell the truth there's no need for absolution of confession

I'll make you pasta with a red sauce when I know you're PMSing

Let's overthink this one detail

It's the most important one I swear

Sometimes we make an odd couple

Ohh but a hell of a pair

When we fight at the Home Depot

It's never really about what kind of tile works for the kitchen floor

We just want to see if we still love one another

And if we ever miss having fun with that old sense of abandonment anymore

I'm glad we kept some space between us; it's a healthy interstitial

I've never felt as loved as I did that time you sang Joni Mitchell

When you don't let me watch the game

I still love you just the same

And it's cool you only took mine

Because you never liked your last name

When we fight on our fixed-rate loan

It's never really about how your debt affects our credit score

We just want to see if we still love one another

And if we ever miss having fun with that old sense of abandonment anymore

I don't believe in the inerrancy of you and me

But I think we can figure it out [x2]

In our Subaru

Girl I'll drive you to

Some latter-day NYU barbecue

I think we've arrived

After a few tries

So ever day we need to earn this quiet attempt at a good life

When we fight at the Jersey Shore

It's never really about who I kissed back in my college dorm

We just want to see if we still love one another

And if we ever miss having fun with that old sense of abandon anymore

I don't believe in the inerrancy of you and me

But I think we can figure it out [x2]
