Lyrics

23 years old who (k)new
in those borrowed something blue jeans
just what you were doing
dressed and always coming up blessed it's true 
when you're sleeping I miss you

I do.

do you miss take this misfit to hold to rock and roll

till death do us party
knock 'em dead is what we said

from emergency fervently on to eternity: 
dishes and laundry have your cake hold on to me 
please call a caterer, a band that plays heartbreaker
and officiate over i do's and bride-grooms and nephews.

rock paper sister.
the best of two.
rock paper sister.
the best to you,
the best two.

Author's Notes

mk and i wrote this for my sister's wedding. written and recorded in about four days.

-my sister really did have a heck of a time finding a band that would play heartbreaker (the pat benetar song) and wound up hiring a band on the condition that they learn it for her. she's cool as hell.

-the end has the "here comes the bride" theme if you listen close.

-the beginning has samples of my sister at two counting to four, and her at 5 dancing around and singing. the end is her at two just killing me with cute-ness.

Comments

dude, this sounds like a really good Ultimate Fakebook song. which is awesome. i love it. the chorus is just killer anthemic stock. makes me really happy.

best to your sister and her man.
