It’s A Long Way To Never
We’ve been together a long, long time.
Since being introduced by a friend of mine.
I love living together, just you and me.
But, there’s so much more I want it to be.
It seems it’s a long way to never.
I know we belong together.
We are true to one another.
Neither would want any other.
I want to seal it with a ring.
Do you know what I mean?
You avoid the thought like a plague.
You say you want bacon and eggs.
Anything to change the subject.
Don’t you think it will fit our budget?
Are you afraid of the commitment?
It’s time you started to get with it.
If our love is true, time to tell others.
We are one till one dies, or the other.
It seems it’s a long way to never.
I know we belong together.
We are true to one another.
Neither would want any other.
I want to seal it with a ring.
Do you know what I mean?
Maybe it is something that will never be.
I know that you want to be with me.
Yet, marriage is something that scares you.
What do you think it would make me do?
