Songtext
0:01My father sits at night with no lights on
0:08His cigarette glows in the dark
0:15The living room is still
0:18I walk by no remark
0:28I tiptoe past the master bedroom where
0:35My mother reads her magazines
0:42I hear her call sweet dreams
0:45But I forgot how to dream
0:56But you say it's time we moved in together
1:02Raised a family of our own
1:05You and me
1:09Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
1:13You want to marry me
1:18We'll marry
1:23My friends from college
1:25They're all married now
1:30They have their houses and their lawns
1:37They have their silent noon
1:40Tearful nights angry dawns
1:50Their children hate them for the things they're not
1:57They hate themselves for what they are
2:05And yet they drink they laugh
2:08Close the wound
2:09Hide the scar
2:19But you say it's time we moved in together
2:25Raised a family of our own
2:28You and me
2:32Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
2:37You want to marry me
2:41We'll marry
2:48You say we can keep our love alive
2:54Babe all I know is what I see
3:02The couples cling and claw
3:04And drown in love's debris
3:15You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds
3:22But soon you'll cage me on your shelf
3:29I'll never learn to be just me first
3:34By myself
3:43Well OK
3:44It's time we moved in together
3:49And raised a family of our own
3:52You and me
3:56Well that's the way I've always heard it should be
4:00You want to marry me
4:06We'll marry
4:08We'll marry
My father sits at night with no lights on His cigarette glows in the dark The living room is still I walk by no remark I tiptoe past the master bedroom where My mother reads her magazines I hear her call sweet dreams But I forgot how to dream But you say it's time we moved in together Raised a family of our own You and me Well that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me We'll marry My friends from college They're all married now They have their houses and their lawns They have their silent noon Tearful nights angry dawns Their children hate them for the things they're not They hate themselves for what they are And yet they drink they laugh Close the wound Hide the scar But you say it's time we moved in together Raised a family of our own You and me Well that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me We'll marry You say we can keep our love alive Babe all I know is what I see The couples cling and claw And drown in love's debris You say we'll soar like two birds through the clouds But soon you'll cage me on your shelf I'll never learn to be just me first By myself Well OK It's time we moved in together And raised a family of our own You and me Well that's the way I've always heard it should be You want to marry me We'll marry We'll marry
