Courthouse Lyrics

Told her she was pretty but I never loved the way she dressed

She didn't need to know anyway

Running through my mind like the Macarena in grade 6

Staring at your face for the day

And we both knew

Forever with you

Still so much we don't know

But we wouldn't let go in that schoolyard

Dreaming of you

Dreams can come true

There's a month left to ask

But I will after class in the schoolyard

Two

Shoulder glancing while you're running even faster far away

Whatever you can do to leave it all behind

I collided with you stumbling on in the other way

The blind trying hard to read the blind

But I said I do

To something old and something new

While my heart led the way on a cold winter day at that church house

The bills were past due

But we thought we'd get through

On the wonders and signs, the most glamorous lies at that church house

Then we got pretty far in our getaway car from that church house

Two

I told her she was pretty but she couldn't hear a word I said

She didn't want to hear it anyway

Running through my mind is everything I should have left unsaid

Now we've run all out of words to say

When you said I do

Was it true

Cause now we're going downtown, it's 3 pm now, to the courthouse

When you said I do

Was it true

Cause now we've got papers to sign

A house on the line in that courthouse

When you said I do

Was it true

Cause now we're going downtown, the last hearing now at the courthouse

The dreams of I do

Had never come true

Cause now the papers are signed

The house is untied in that courthouse

Two
