Kevin Atwater
why did you invite me to your wedding
[Verse 1]
I got your message last night around 1:00
You’re getting married and you want me to come
You miss me a lot and the wedding’s next month
I think you were drunk, you spelled “wedding” wrong
I used to break wishbones and pray that you liked me
And went to away games to pretend I liked fighting
You’d scan the crowd for my face with your eyes
Maybe I was in love or you were just nice
[Chorus]
Mmm a rush kinda like the old times
After all of these years I still cross your mind
Or maybе you thought you’d reach out to be nice
But why’d you invitе me in the middle of the night?
[Verse 2]
Do you remember when you thought your dad was dying?
I ran to your house in the middle of the night
When you found out he wasn’t, caught in the moment
I kissed you and then you got quiet
You could’ve hurt me, it would’ve been easy
We were that age where boys started being mean to be mean
But you took my hand and asked me to dance
To nothing and never brought it up again
[Chorus]
Mmm if I saw you what would I say?
Would we act like we can’t see that nothing’s the same?
We used to make fun of kids marrying young
But it’s not as funny when it’s someone you loved
Mmm I wanna call you with a hand in my pants
And let you say drunk little things you’ll regret
But I’d just be the reason that somebody cries
But then why’d you invite me in the middle of the night?
[Outro]
I’ll never know why
Cause I’ll never reply
So you can just stay nice
In the back of my mind
