Shotgun Wedding

Ten years out of high school

Still no idea what to do

You took him home from a nightclub

He took a nightclub to you

Now I watch from the window

Too guilty to scream

My feet are like steel

I might be in a dream

But every time I see you

You look bigger than you did the day before

And even though I know it's not my fault

I wish it was

I can only ride the elevator all night long

From floor to floor

And I can only stand outside your window

In the dust

So how about a shotgun wedding?

What about your dignity?

What about a different setting?

What about me?

All your daddy's wishes honored

All of that security

How about a shotgun wedding?

What about me?

I guess I'm a loner

Some call me a freak

Saw you in the hallway

Too guilty to speak

Now I sleep in the daytime

And I sleep on the floor

I dial your number

And I knock on your door

But every time I hear your voice or footsteps

I get frozen in my place

And I have to struggle for the courage

Just to run

I can see the eyes of all the ones that left you

Glowing in your face

And I just wanna help you with this life

That you've begun

So how about a shotgun wedding?

What about your dignity?

What about a different setting?

What about me?

All your daddy's wishes honored

All of that security

What about a shotgun wedding?

What about me?

What about a shotgun wedding?

What about me?

What about me?
