Boston Marriage

from Boston Marriage by The Fossil Record

lyrics

On a fire escape we shared a drag
Shared more than that and waved our wild flag

Did all the things without a care
Like four in one room breathing the same air

Like spinning records well past two
And tending to the playlist there with you

Like elbowing into the scene
With cover songs upstairs at Sound Machine



And I knew from just a fair age
That you could be my Boston Marriage

To have and hold and cherish
So won’t you be my Boston Marriage



We moved up north in order to
Do all the things that we were told to do

To find our callings, make some art
And figure out to whom we’d give our hearts

In different years on different days
Walked down two aisles and gave ourselves away

We learned the art of how to wait
Till four was six and six turned into eight



And I knew from just a fair age
That you could be my Boston Marriage

To have and hold and cherish
So won’t you be my Boston Marriage



When all the rest are all a mess
With us it’s always effortless

And though we may not have a ring
I’ll be the autumn to your spring

So let’s grow up and old together
I know that we’ll sort out the pleasure

Let’s forget the orthodoxy
And live a life of love by proxy



And I knew from just a fair age
That you could be my Boston Marriage

To have and hold and cherish
So won’t you be my Boston Marriage
