Married in a Year

Another girl I dated, married

I chase the heartbreak with the pantry

Seven down, how many to go?

I'm insecure and I wanna know

Was it my great mistake to light that fire with him standing there?

Did I set that stage, get you high to settle for average and fair?

Am I unattractive or too romantic

Fuel for your love affair? Hm, mm

I thought I'd love you in the morning, baby

Oh, I guess you loved him an evening later

I can't believe I ever believed in fate (oh)

Was it ever gonna be me?

Was it ever gonna be me?

You'll be married in a year in the suburbs

With a kid on the way in three

Convincing yourself you're living the American dream

And I'll be dancing out in California

The kid who got it all wrong

Convincing myself that one day I'll write a love song

Was it my great mistake to light that fire with him standing there?

When I thought I found myself, I lost it fair and square

In a car across the country

Trying to make some stranger love me

Hm, mm

I thought I'd love you in the morning, baby

Oh, I guess you loved him an evening later

I can't believe I ever believed in fate (oh)

Was it ever gonna be me?

Was it ever gonna be me?

There ain't a door in this city with enough for me (oh)

I'm just a wide-eyed boy, too wild and free (oh)

Don't go claim the old, it's not you, it's me

Oh, I've been around the block to feel when it's over

And when it's over

You'll be married in a year in the suburbs

With a kid on the way in three

Convincing yourself you're living the American dream

And I'll be dancing out in California

The kid who got it all wrong

Convincing myself one day I'll write a love song
