"You Will Marry The Wrong Person" lyrics

You
Will marry
The wrong person

You can't freeze happiness
Oh the golden moments
They will be gone
See, the first problem is that we don't quite understand ourselves
And if we can't do that how will get others?
And moreover how will we choose our lovers?
We're all quite mad
And the normal ones
Are the ones you don't know very well
Maybe when we're on our first date
Don't ask for my favourite bands
Ask me how I'm mad
Mad like you

You
Will marry
The wrong person

Single life is hard
Lonely Saturday nights
And all the nights
So we do funny things to escape
Like settling for something before it's all too late
Groping in the dark, inventing sparks, inventing you
Maybe your instincts are all wrong
And who can ever know if these funny feelings will go on and on and on
You won't be the first to be charmed by a heavenly song
Moment, eyes, times, words, mood, face, gone
When time reveals all that is true

You
Will marry
The wrong person

Are we seeking happiness
Or just the familiar world we miss
Are we just the birds of the nest?
The love we learnt as kids was darker than you think
Born out of a complex, indelible ink
There's a good chance you'll reject the right one
No one tells you how it is
Sends you off with love degrees
All we get are those birds and bees
If you're not taught to drive you're probably going to crash the car
And we're taught nothing of love
Taught nothing of love
And that's why

You
Will marry
The wrong person
