marry me

i suppose we could just pretend
this is a fairytale
you would be the sleeping beauty
and i would be the prince
and i would kiss you
and you would wake up
and we would live happily
ever after

no
i’ll let my hair down from a tower
i’ll paint my toenails and i’ll sing
and you will climb up
and then you’ll save me
and then you’ll marry me
oh yeah you’ll marry me

and we could just forget that i don’t want to marry
we could just pretend that you are free
we could just pretend that love will conquer
everything that stands between you and me

i suppose we could just pretend
this is a musical
the sun will break through the clouds
everybody starts to sing and dance in the streets
and we can fly out of the window
into a new reality where you can be a ray of light
and then you’ll fuck me through the window
and then you’ll marry me
oh yeah you’ll marry me

and we could just forget that i don’t want to marry
we could just pretend that you are free
we could just pretend that love will conquer
everything that stands between you and me

well you know my problem is
that i want it all
but i can’t have it all cuz
nobody can have it all
and all the jokes i make
all the songs i sing
can’t prevent me
from taking things too seriously
and i have a headache
and i don’t sleep well
and i am waiting
for my phone to ring
and i am tired of waiting
for nothing for nothing

when we could just forget that i don’t want to marry
we could just pretend that you are free
we could just pretend that love will conquer
everything that stands between you and me

i suppose we could just pretend
this is a fairytale
you would be the sleeping beauty
and i would be the prince
and i would kiss you
and you would wake up
and we would live happpily
ever after
