Save the Date

Last year, I made myself a promise

The twenty-seventh date of August

I'm only doing things I want to do

Thinkin' 'bout walking the dog

Thinkin' 'bout cleaning the garage

Maybe have a fire later

I'm not thinkin' 'bout you in your white dress

All our best friends watching you become my wife

I ain't doing that once a goddamn year for my whole life

I'm tryin' to save the date

Give myself a little grace

Like it's just any other day

I'm tryin' to save the date

It's three hundred sixty-four other days

That I can rack my brain

Wonderin' if you'll ever learn how to mean things you say

But when this date rolls around

I won't think about the house

Or your horrible designer couch

I won't think about you in your white dress

All our best friends watching you become my wife

I ain't doing that once a goddamn year for my whole life

'Cause I'm tryin' to save the date

Give myself a little grace

Like it's just any other day

I'm tryin' to save the date

I'm tryin' to save the date
