I called up Laura; she said that the arguments that used to take three hours take 10 minutes after two years
When Maddison wrote me to say that she was marrying Parker all she said was it felt natural; it made sense

And you don't get to be on the inside of someone else's love,
They invite you to their wedding so you feel like you can be
But you don't get to be on the inside of someone else's love
You may draw conclusions when you hear them talking on the phone

I want to know if other people feel what I feel
I've tried to pry into the lives of married friends
I want to know if my parents feel what I feel
But I get fragments, I get pieces, and that's it

You don't get to be on the inside of someone else's love
You may be around when they get their mix tapes in the mail
But you don't get to be on the inside of someone else's love
I love it when Laura's boyfriend Michael comes to town

I want to know if other people feel what I feel
I've tried to pry into the lives of married friends
I want to know if my parents feel what I feel
I make them tell me the story of how they fell in love

When grandma met grandpa, and they shook hands, she said it felt so nice that she almost didn't want to let go
When we got donuts and talked about our lives you said there's a feeling that makes unsure things feel surer than they should
I looked on the outside and everything looked perfect. Was it painful? Did it mean the same things it meant to me?
