The Big House

(album: Freshman Year - 2005)

Oh two kids in a bathtub
He's bearding her chin with bubbles perfect picture
Holiday blanket, and tomorrow is katydids and cocktail swords
You know you were probably raised all wrong yeah but we love each other regardless
And one has A.D.D. and the other one is dead but both knowing well, they'll go to hell
Two kids kill each other and kiss at the end
And we swear by the rest at our trampoline
That we saw detachable wings at the crime scene
Out in the corn field
Where they threw themselves down
Their sense of the sin they told no one no one

Oh I promise it'll be lovely
We'll get the big house
Buy you that dog you always wanted it's just lately, daughter I've been tired
And if you love me, you'll pack up all your shit and get in
Well everyone everyone everyone
They've gone down again, down again, down again oh, oh, oh...

She says I love you I love you I love you
She says I love you I love you I love you
He says I love you too, oh how I have loved you
She says I need you I need you I need you
Oh I need you I need you I need you
He said I need you too, oh darling how I needed you
She said let's get married let's get married let's get married
Let's get married, let's get married, let's get married
I wanna marry you
She said, I don't want to marry you
She said I hate you I hate you I hate you
I hate you, I hate you, I hate you
Oh wait no, I could never hate you, she said I'm kidding
I still love you
Grandad said "I don't much understand what the kids are saying these days
It sounds really pretty anyway"
Oh let them stay oh don't move away oh no

Though I promise you're gonna fucking love it
The air is clean and the water is clear
Oh my god dear, how happy it is so make like your Mother and run
You're gonna run
You're gonna run
Oh everyone everyone everyone
They've gone down again, down again, down again, oh hmm...
