All The Young Monogamists Lyrics - Page One - Steven Page

All the young monogamists 

Are walking through the park 

Each of them protagonists 

In stories they won't start. 

You and I, we smile at them 

We've seen it all before 

Older now, and wiser when 

We both know what's in store. 

As they gaze into the eyes 

Of the one they love 

They can feel inside of them 

That this is not enough 

Some of them will just grow tired 

Some of them will flee 

Some of them will sleep around 

Just like you and me 

You and I, we settled for 

Whatever'd come along 

And thought that lies were just like love 

When put into a song 

How could we, the cynical, 

Who've been around the block 

Ever trust another soul? 

And who of us should talk? 

But here we are, monogamists 

A-swearing it will last 

I know it seems ridiculous 

Considering our pasts
