lyrics

It’s mundanely romantic
buying flowers to say sorry,
eating candlelit dinners,
leaving notes for each other,
going to church on a Sunday,
pruning roses by dozens,
dressing up to go walking,
holding hands while they’re talking.
It’s mundanely romantic.

It’s mundanely romantic
being sad when they’re happy,
laughing when crying
at soft soap on tv,
smiling at babies
and wondering if maybe
the soft pitter-patter
will be kitten or puppy;
the sex wouldn’t matter
as long as it’s healthy.
It’s mundanely romantic

except when they say where were you last night?
I’ve been worried sick and now I’m sick and tired.
Don’t make it any worse by saying things
that neither of us will ever believe are true – like I love you.

It’s mundanely romantic
saying goodbye through a window,
waving off at a station,
sending texts on arrival,
scrimping and saving
with talk of survival
beyond understanding
where money won’t matter
and love’s everlasting
if you send it by email.
It’s mundanely romantic

except when they say where were you last night?
I’ve been worried sick and now I’m sick in the head.
Let’s not make it any worse by saying things
that neither of us should have ever said – like I wish that you were dead.

It’s mundanely romantic
but it could really be romantic
if you tried a little harder.
