Borrowed Clothes

My grandpa’s ring, your mother’s dress

Your sister’s shoes, my father’s vest

I’m just trying to keep myself composed

Making promises in borrowed clothes

I’ll be black and you be white

I’ll be left and you be right

I’ll be the Oregon coast, you be Eastern Time

We’ll move mountains when we compromise

You’re the one I’ll love from now until we die

And I can’t wait to start this new life

So let the song begin

While all the candles shake

Whatever’s past is gone

We’ve got a brand new slate

Forever’s on our tongues

No matter what it taken

And I am not afraid

So smile for every shot they take

Raise a glass and slice the cake

There’s a car outside with cans in wake

Leave our families here to celebrate

Playing house like we always said

You paint the walls, I’ll build a bed

There’s no rush, let all the boxes wait

We’ve got years to get the rooms arranged

You’re the one I’ll love from now until we die

And I’m not even trying to shake this smile

So let the song begin while all the candles shake

Whatever’s past is gone; we’ve got a brand new slate

Forever’s on our tongues

No matter what it takes

And I am not afraid
