Another Way

We got married at a hotel in Michigan
I didn’t think it was something I was gonna do again
Nobody ever said it was my second one
But nobody said it wasn’t
In the rental car console there’s a diamond ring
And we slept in on a California King
And all the guilty feelings that’s gonna bring
But we’re staring at the ceiling, breathing in
And slowly the waves are gonna roll the other way

Another way, another way
Someday I wanna be another way

And in the morning we’ll drive over that Great Lake shimmering
And at the border they’re gonna ask which country we’re living in
And I’m gonna say we got hitched out there near Ithaca
And you’ll dig out the certificate
And right there on your left hand is that diamond ring
You spin it on your finger whenever you’re thinking
About all the guilty feelings this kind of thing can bring
I know nobody gets to begin again still we’re trying everything we can
And slowly the waves are gonna roll the other way

Another way, another way
Someday I wanna be another way

And by the time she let me go
And kind of hummed an I don’t know
And sent me to bed with a hug
I know it’s the sound of a shrug
And finally, every language, every country
They know exactly what she said
But she doesn’t know what she meant
Anymore

We got married at a hotel in Michigan
I didn’t think it was something I was gonna do again
