We promise forever
Put forth the best intentions
Try to be the best people we can
And when forever turns to 8 years
We pick our tired selves up
And try to find something to stand on
If this life was a boat
I’d say we are far from shore
I’d say this compass is broken
I’d say this ain’t water its fire
And if history indicates
Then I’ll do this all over again
Marry another friend
And try to make it work
But it’s hard
When love becomes love
And not something you say when you fuck
It likеs losing half of yourself when you split
And with a kid between you two
You try to bе the better you
And not talk as yourself, but as their dad
If this life was even fair
We’d get points for our effort
Instead of having to start over
Every goddam time
But with everything we learn
We get to get a little better
And maybe promise forever
One last time
One last time
