The Party

I know I'm a piece of work
But I wanna make it work with you
Do the dishes with Nebraska in the background
Are you listenin'? Are you sat down?

Ankles in your lap, heart in your hand
How I got you, honey, even I don't understand
But I'm happy that we're here at the end of the year
Under winter skies

Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party
Swayin' under halogen lights
I'll take your chaos and your crooked in a heartbeat
Heart beats louder, I'm gonna make you proud of me
Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party

You're my favorite comic, my Jupiter comet
People ask how long have I loved you, no comment
'Cause probably since I was seven and you were eight
We didn't know each other, but baby, it was fate
And now we're in a freak storm every other weekend
Your friends think I'm bad news and a part of you believes them
I understand, I know how lucky I am

Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party
Swayin' under halogen lights
I'll take your chaos and your crooked in a heartbeat
Heart beats louder, I'm gonna make you proud of me
Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party

Water rings from cheap red wine
You're the only apple in my eye
And my dress is from a funeral
You mouthed: Babe, you look beautiful
From across the room, grin in your eyes
And I tell the group: Look, that's my guy
And I think we'll be alright, I do

Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party
I'm never gonna leave your side
I'll take your chaos and your crooked in a heartbeat
Heart beats louder, I'm gonna make you proud of me
Oh, you and I are the last to leave the party
