[Verse 1]
Don't take the following words as reverence for tradition
I've learned to pick my battles by losing most I've fought
The more mores subverted, the more I sense I'm missing
And I'll always do it my way, even if that's just the same way I was taught
I'll bring home the bread, and you'll stay home and bake it
Weeding out the garden where the milestones gather moss
Crack a smile at my vows and whisper, "Wow, can you believe wе really made it?"
As I give up on dodging ricе and fold my cape, I say, "Obviously not"
[Chorus]
But I wanna be just like my parents before I was born
Oh, can we be just like my parents?
[Verse 2]
I know you don't want kids, but think about a daughter
We could name her Gwendolyn, like mom would have called me
I'm not sure yet myself, but I learned from a good father
Yeah, I mean, sure, they messed me up, but I think that's just the gig
And maybe it's just some hormones that kick in in your late twenties
But I have laid a lot of women, and now I'd like to just lay down
And marriage always scared me, but I'd like to have a last love
And love can last a pretty good long while, yeah, I've seen it around
[Chorus 2]
Oh, can we be just like my parents when I was young?
Why can't we be just like my parents?
