Stepsons - Mary's Getting Married

Mary's got herself a sensible man
With a practical car and a ten-year plan
Greasing his hair each morning to the left side
And Mary's got a wrist tattoo
The last permanent mark of a fading youth
From a whim back when we'd skip class
On Tuesday nights
I used to take her home the long way
We would pull off and mess around
Used to say these days were years away
But Mary's getting married now
Mary, i'm not the kind to kick down the doors
Object on the wedding day you've been saving for
In front of some poor pastor
And make him do the vows again
Tell me Mary, am I chained to the past?
Am I rose-tinting all the history we had?
Just promise you won't introduce me
As one of your oldest friends
'Cause I used to take you home the long way
We would pull off and mess around
Used to say these days were years away
Yeah we'd both grow up by then somehow
Well it took me a while
To work things out
But Mary's getting married
Mary's getting married now
We used to laugh until the sunrise
'Till our voices cracked and gave out
Making big plans for forever
From a pull-out couch on the edge of town
So you can save me all your sympathy
That'll only get me down
'Cause it took me a while to work things out
To summon the courage I had deep down
To say she's the one I couldn't live without
But Mary's getting married
Yeah, Mary's getting married
Mary's getting married now
