Lyrics That's The Way I Always Heard It Should Be

My father sits at night with no lights on his cigarette glows in the dark

The living room is still

I walk by no remark

I tiptoe past the master bedroom where

My mother reads her magazines

I hear her call sweet dreams but I forget how to dream

But you say it's time we moved in together

And raised a family of our own you and me

Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

You want to marry me we'll marry

My friends from college they're all married now

They have their houses and their lives

They have their silent noons tearful nights angry dawns

Their children hate them for the things they love

They hate themselves for what they are

And yet they drink they laugh close the wound hide the scar

But you say it's time we moved in together

And raised a family of our own you and me

Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

You want to marry me we'll marry

You say that we can keep our love alive babe all I know is what I see

Little couples cling and claw and drown in love's debris

You say we soar like two birds through the clouds

But soon you'll cage me on your shelf

I'll never learn to be just me first by myself

Well okay it's time we moved in together

And raised a family of our own you and me

Well that's the way I've always heard it should be

You want to marry me we'll marry
