And I can't help but to hear
No, I can't help but to hear an exchanging of words:
"What a beautiful wedding!
What a beautiful wedding!" says a bridesmaid to a waiter

Closing a goddamn door?!"
No, it's much better to face these kinds of things
With a sense of

Poise and rationality

Brendon often jokes that he hates this song now when playing it live.
Actually, (contrary to what many people think), he doesn’t.
In a video compilation of him performing the song, at one point he even says, “Goddammit, I’m fucking tired of this song.”
