The story behind this song
Fourteen years, two cities, one mortgage, and a dog who's frankly ancient — now ring bearer, because he's waited longer than the guests. Her mother quit hinting back in year nine. The proposal happened mid-hallway, paintbrush still in hand: we should probably make this legal. The group chat had a betting pool, and nobody guessed it would take this long.
The vows were already living in the grocery runs; they just finally sent the invitations. For the couple who weren't late, only sure — who did the whole thing in reverse and meant every year of it.
Lyrics
Fourteen years and one gray dog later —
Well, look who's wearing white
Well, look who's wearing white
Your mother quit her hinting
Somewhere back in year nine
The group chat had a betting pool
Nobody guessed this far down the line
Somewhere back in year nine
The group chat had a betting pool
Nobody guessed this far down the line
We already shared the keys, the bills, the blanket —
Today we're just saying it loud
Today we're just saying it loud
Took us long enough, my love
But hey, we never were in a rush
The vows were living in the grocery runs
The forever started way back when
We just finally sent the invitations —
Took us long enough. Say it again!
But hey, we never were in a rush
The vows were living in the grocery runs
The forever started way back when
We just finally sent the invitations —
Took us long enough. Say it again!
You proposed while we were painting
The hallway, brush still in your hand
Said "we should probably make this legal"
Most romantic words known to man
The hallway, brush still in your hand
Said "we should probably make this legal"
Most romantic words known to man
The dog's the ring bearer, he's ancient
He's waited longer than the guests
He's waited longer than the guests
Took us long enough, my love
But hey, we never were in a rush
The vows were living in the grocery runs
The forever started way back when
We just finally sent the invitations —
Took us long enough. Say it again!
But hey, we never were in a rush
The vows were living in the grocery runs
The forever started way back when
We just finally sent the invitations —
Took us long enough. Say it again!
Here's the secret nobody clapping knows:
We weren't late — we were sure
Some folks marry and then find out who they married
We just did it in reverse
We weren't late — we were sure
Some folks marry and then find out who they married
We just did it in reverse
Took us long enough, my love
But hey, we never were in a rush
The vows were living in the grocery runs
The forever started way back when
We just finally sent the invitations —
Took us long enough. Say it again!
But hey, we never were in a rush
The vows were living in the grocery runs
The forever started way back when
We just finally sent the invitations —
Took us long enough. Say it again!
