At the Wedding

At the wedding, you refused to dance

Because the music was all wrong

And you added, "Neither of us dances, anyway"

And I agreed

To the question of where I think we'll be

In a year or two from now

I've been trying not to be so overconfident

And you agreed, that used to be enough for me

Rushed into the street with my hair down

Rushed into the street with my hair down

Panglossian, delta of Venus

These bachelorettes have started singing

It's only an accident

Your love, your love, your love, your love

I know anything at all could happen

Your love, your love, your love, your love

At the dinner, we were wondering

If the toasts would ever happen

If you should've thought of something

Simple, you could say, and I agreed

At the hotel, couldn't help but hear

The party spill out onto the patio

Their voices held in midair like a promise

That nobody here would be

Getting a little bit of sleep, oh no, oh no

Rushed into the street with my hair down

Rushed into the street with my hair down

Panglossian, Delta of Venus

These bachelorettes have started singing

It could be fine, take all my time

If I had a dime, I'd pay

Listen to the sound, impossibly loud

Now somebody's started singing

I tell myself to be better

This hour is lasting forever

Making their rounds, bringing me down

Like they wanted to be found out

Listen to the sound, impossibly loud

I can hear their voices ringing

Sound of their feet like thundering wings

Like they wanted to be found out

Running all the time, I got half a mind

Now somebody's started singing
