Tim Kasher - Monogamy lyrics

We picked out a house We picked out a bed We picked out a pup from the kennel and started life in full We hung some pictures on the walls Our nearest, dearest friends We don't see much of them Most nights we been staying in Practicing the monogamy Friday nights in autumn Dressed in fleece for high school football Some of our friends have sons and daughters at St. Pius The Hannelly's already have four Our bedrooms been less than intimate So, I've been taking longer showers We sleep different hours And the weekends you're so tired Now it's birthdays and anniversaries Monogamy Monogamy We both have regrets Those roads we never drove But it's pointless to dwell in the what ifs I mean what if we had never met? At least there's a mortgage over our heads No, no, no. A roof's what I meant to say So, we're stuck in a few ruts My independence is all but shrivelled up I guess that's just the price we pay For monogamy Monogamy I tighten my tie I zip up your dress I check the invitation on the fridge "Come celebrate with Tom and Kate Ten years of wedded bliss" Tom meets us at the door and takes our coats Kate stays in the kitchen I begin to say hello She stopped in on the telephone How do we keep up this charade? Monogamy Monogamy Monogamy Monogamy Monogamy Monogamy
