[Verse 1]
Friends are getting high
Married in July
It's the second ring
But they say this one's for life
I don't wanna die
At least not tonight
'Cause I got shit to do
And it wouldn't be polite
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I call you
Or do I need a reason why?
[Chorus]
Everything's always
Weddings and funerals
No room to celebrate
Everyday miracles
Like the sun in the sky
Like your body on mine
Everything's always
Weddings and funerals
[Verse 2]
My parents got hitched
Back in '86
Like they invented love
On a summer solstice
My grandfather died
From missing his wifе
When he inventеd death
I couldn't make myself cry
[Pre-Chorus]
Can I come over
Or do I need reason why?
[Chorus]
Everything's always
Weddings and funerals
No room to celebrate
Everyday miracles
Like the sun in the sky
Like your body on mine
Everything's always
Weddings and funerals
Weddings and funerals
[Bridge]
It's my honeymoon
It's my dying day
It's the end of the world
And I'm feeling great
I told you I love you
Glad I didn't wait
Glad I didn't wait
[Chorus]
For weddings and funerals
They're just a spectacle
Look at my green eyes
Dreaming of marigold
Like the sun in the sky
Like your body on mine
Not gonna wait for
Weddings and funerals
Weddings and funerals
Weddings and funerals

I based the music video for ‘Weddings & Funerals’ in the 1960s, when my grandparents got married. What would it have looked like If I saw the love of my life in a park and then daydreamed he was JFK, and we got married and then assassinated? The answer is this music video, and I hope it serves a...
When I sat down with Justin Tranter and Eren Cannata to write ‘Weddings & Funerals,’ my grandpa had just died, and all of my friends were getting engaged. Everything felt like it was monumentally wonderful or terrible. I wrote this song as a reminder to appreciate the magical mundane parts in my...
