The story behind this song
Everyone remembers date number one — the friend came home swearing never again, then texted the group chat seventeen times about the way they'd said their name. The rest of them saw it coming miles off; the two of them were the last to know. One of them can't park, one can't cook, and somewhere between the burnt lasagna and the curb, it all came true.
A blender off the registry felt too small, so the gift is a song instead. For the friend wishing them the long, good, slow-Sundays life — the whole good catalogue. Glasses up, higher than that.
Lyrics
I've got something better than a toast
You came home swearing "never again"
Then you texted the group chat seventeen times
About the way they said your name
You two were the last to know
The bet we're glad we lost
You found the one who gets the joke
And stays when it's not funny anymore
Long life, slow Sundays, the whole good catalogue —
Here's to the two of you
I'm legally not allowed to say who
But somewhere between the burnt lasagna
And the curb, you both came true
We're stuck with you for life
The bet we're glad we lost
You found the one who gets the joke
And stays when it's not funny anymore
Long life, slow Sundays, the whole good catalogue —
Here's to the two of you
And the rest of us have gone
May your kitchen still sound like this room tonight —
Two people laughing at the same old song
The bet we're glad we lost
You found the one who gets the joke
And stays when it's not funny anymore
Long life, slow Sundays, the whole good catalogue —
Here's to the two of you
To the two of you, and that's the gift
