Marry Me Lyrics - Singles - Nightmare Of You

I felt a love of such deafening weight 

Dangling from a balustrade of shilly-shally 

Overlooking infinity and this ecstasy of you lying next to me 

And in a peculiar way you clutched me 

By the shoulder, said, "Boy I barely know you 

But would you marry me?" 

We were floating about with our heads in the clouds 

And stealing those words from my mouth 

You whispered in my ear 

Exactly what I wanted to hear 

Composed a note of such jubilant things 

And placed it between bed and spring 

Of a hostile hostel overrun with shedding towelettes 

And Mexican maids and with indefinite fate 

I clutched you by the shoulder said, "Girl, I barely know you 

But would you marry me?" 

We were floating about with our heads in the clouds 

And stealing those words from my mouth 

You whispered in my ear 

Exactly what I wanted to hear 

Exactly what I wanted to hear 

Exactly what I wanted to hear
