Two Invitations

Two invitations came to my address
They must have mailed them before you left
The wedding of our closest friends
Read like a guarantee i'd see you again

I took a seat across the aisle
They gave us separate tables on opposite sides
A few drinks deep i stepped outside
Only to look up and meet your eyes

You were sweating through your dress
You said: "why do people get married in july?"
You shared your cigarettes
We lit a hundred at a time
"what was that verse they read?"
Yeah, "love is patient, love is kind..."
Couldn't be a safer bet
But it feels truer every time
Even if it's a lie
There will be a time
To speak our minds
Just not tonight

Just when it seemed like we were getting along
They took requests, they played that song
Felt like the lord was trying do us in
I held your hair back while you got sick

"don't get it on your dress"
"why do people get married all the time?"
You'd share your cigarettes
If we could only find a light
"what was that verse they read again?"
Yeah, "love is patient, love is kind...."
Couldn't be a safer bet
But it feels truer every time
Even if it's a lie
There will be a time
To speak our minds
Just not tonight
