We got married at a hotel in Michigan I didn't think it was something I was gonna do again Nobody ever said it was my second one But nobody said it wasn't In the rental car console there's a diamond ring And we slept in on a California King And all the guilty feelings that's gonna bring But we're staring at the ceiling, breathing in And slowly the waves are gonna roll the other way Another way, another way Someday I wanna be another way And in the morning we'll drive over that Great Lake shimmering And at the border they're gonna ask which country we're living in And I'm gonna say we got hitched out there near Ithaca And you'll dig out the certificate And right there on your left hand is that diamond ring You spin it on your finger whenever you're thinking About all the guilty feelings this kind of thing can bring I know nobody gets to begin again still we're trying everything we can And slowly the waves are gonna roll the other way Another way, another way Someday I wanna be another way And by the time she let me go And kind of hummed an I don't know And sent me to bed with a hug I know it's the sound of a shrug And finally, every language, every country They know exactly what she said But she doesn't know what she meant Anymore We got married at a hotel in Michigan I didn't think it was something I was gonna do again
