Waltz For Sweatpants

(album: The End - 2023)

We wore sweatpants to the ball
Our sneakers echoed through the hall
And the rain didn't help with our hair
All the princesses in their pastel dresses
And you in the middle in your Van Halen shirt

My hand upon your waist
That wicked smile upon your face
Like the first time I laid eyes on you
People are staring, but we stopped caring
A long time, such a long time ago

So, let them think that we're crazy
Break the rules they made up
Let them think that we're just a little weird
Honestly, we probably are

You're the antidote to pride
Like a rollercoaster ride
Even stoics can't help but to smile
Who has the time to assuage the kind who
Always wanna fault you just for living your life?

So let them think that we're crazy
Break the rules they made up
Let them think that we're just a little weird
Honestly, we probably are

Just a little peculiar
Maybe more than a little
But life's far too fleeting
For us not to be who we are

Let them think that we're crazy
Break the rules they made up
Let them think that we're just a little weird
Honestly, you and me, truthfully
It's just who we are
