Monogamy
We picked out a houseWe picked out a bedWe picked out a pup from the kennel and started life in fullWe hung some pictures on the wallsOur nearest, dearest friendsWe don't see much of themMost nights we been staying inPracticing the monogamyFriday nights in autumnDressed in fleece for high school footballSome of our friends have sons and daughters at St. PiusThe Hannelly's already have four Our bedrooms been less than intimateSo, I've been taking longer showersWe sleep different hoursAnd the weekends you're so tiredNow it's birthdays and anniversariesMonogamyMonogamyWe both have regretsThose roads we never droveBut it's pointless to drown in the watersI mean what if we had never met?At least there's a mortgage over our headsLetras de cancionesNo, no, no. A roof's what I meant to saySo, we're stuck in a few rutsMy independence is all but shrivelled upI guess that's just the price we pay For monogamyMonogamyI tighten my tieI zip up your dressI check the invitation on the fridge"Come celebrate with Tom and KateTen years of wedded bliss"Tom meets us at the door and takes our coatsKate stays in the kitchenI begin to say helloShe stopped in on the telephoneHow do we keep up this charade?MonogamyMonogamyMonogamyMonogamyMonogamyMonogamy
