Two invitations came to my address

They must have mailed them before you left

The wedding of our closest friends

Read like a guarantee i'd see you again

I took a seat across the aisle

They gave us separate tables on opposite sides

A few drinks deep i stepped outside

Only to look up and meet your eyes

You were sweating through your dress

You said: "why do people get married in july?"

You shared your cigarettes

We lit a hundred at a time

"what was that verse they read?"

Yeah, "love is patient, love is kind..."

Couldn't be a safer bet

But it feels truer every time

Even if it's a lie

There will be a time

To speak our minds

Just not tonight

Just when it seemed like we were getting along

They took requests, they played that song

Felt like the lord was trying do us in

I held your hair back while you got sick

"don't get it on your dress"

"why do people get married all the time?"

You'd share your cigarettes

If we could only find a light

"what was that verse they read again?"

Yeah, "love is patient, love is kind...."

Couldn't be a safer bet

But it feels truer every time

Even if it's a lie

There will be a time

To speak our minds

Just not tonight
