lyrics

I woke from the dream to a wedding dress ruffling in the dark
But she was sleeping across town, because to see her is bad luck
I feel I might be happy if I can feel at all anymore
Or maybe I’m just going through the motions
A wave crashing the shore

With eyes made for her
I shower and shave
In the shower at my mothers house
On the discernible day

I arrive at the church I grew up in, Restless and distraught
I stare the faces of people I know, there just to wish me luck
I tell them that I'm happy and pretend I'm not confused
But looking back at the video, not even I bought the ruse

With eyes made of her
I smile and shake
The hand of her father
On the discernible day

I watch her walking down the aisle, anxiously she moves
We were playing some Stryper song for heavy metal "I Do's"
I try not to stumble through my vows or lock my knees
I see her family glaring on, it's the first time they met me

With eyes made for her
We cut the cake
And pose for pictures
On the discernible day

With eyes my of her
We drive away
In my shoe-polished Mustang II
On the discernible day

Got a room at the Sandpiper Inn motel
For one night from my grandpa
We ordered biscuits and gravy in bed
Then she fell asleep

With eyes made of her
I lay awake
And wonder what the hell I just did
On the discernible day
With eyes made for her
I just turned eighteen
I lay by my pregnant wife
I finally fell asleep
