lyrics

Welcome to our consolation marriage
With the baby crying in a baby carriage
No happily ever after
No nights with hysterical laughter
Just me and you and the disappearing weekend

I wasn’t your first choice and you weren’t mine
You saw other boys and I was doing fine
But we made out at that party and shared a single glass of wine
Now we drink like fish and stagger to the finish line

I can’t cheer you up when you get sad
I’ve been working out, but still looking bad
And you always embarrass me when we visit Mom and Dad
You say I repeat myself, I repeat myself, I repeat myself… it’s driving you mad

You’re not going to leave me, are you?
Cause I don’t think I’d know what to do
We don’t finish each other’s sentences
We both binge on different shows
But divorces are expensive
So on and on it goes

Just me and you - you’re my only real friend,
yeah it’s me and you, Yeah it’s me and you. It’s me and you until the day it ends
