The words

Lyrics

You wiggle your eyebrows like it's nineteen-whatever And somehow it still works on me You burn the toast and blame the toaster Same excuse for twenty years You wink across the crowded kitchen Like nobody else is here I roll my eyes, you take a bow That's the whole routine by now You said forever like a punchline Then you went and made it true Every dumb joke, every Tuesday Husband, I'd still laugh with you You said forever — I believed you Funny thing is, you did too You hum off-key when you do the dishes Loud on purpose, I suspect You still call me your better-looking half Wrong, but I let it stand, my love I know your lines before you start You know exactly when I'll laugh You said forever like a punchline Then you went and made it true Every dumb joke, every Tuesday Husband, I'd still laugh with you You said forever — I believed you Funny thing is, you did too Someday we'll be old and creaky You'll still try that eyebrow thing And I'll roll my eyes like always While it works like everything You said forever like a punchline Then you went and made it true Every dumb joke, every Tuesday Husband, I'd still laugh with you You said forever — I believed you Funny thing is, you did too Go on, say the thing you always say I married you for it anyway

Behind the song

The story

He still burns the toast and blames the toaster — same excuse for twenty years. He wiggles his eyebrows across the crowded kitchen like it's nineteen-whatever, and somehow it still works. She rolls her eyes, he takes a bow. That's the whole routine by now: she knows his lines before he starts, he knows exactly when she'll laugh. He said forever like a punchline, then went and made it true — every dumb joke, every ordinary Tuesday. For the wife who'd still laugh at all of it, and the husband who, funny thing, believed the joke right along with her.
