yes

i know you don't know what to say

this is all really emotional

plus the things i say are pretty irrational

sometimes intensely nerve-wracking and forgive me, impulsive

you know how i feel right

i could be the mother of your children

in recurring dreams i am

you would be the perfect husband in an ideal world

under ideal circumstances that will undoubtedly never arise

couldn't be so fortunate, too easy

we'll marry wrong and end up miserable

divorced with three ugly complacent children

some awful, heart-wrenching settlement

his affair, yours or mine

maybe a suicide for good measure

all kinds of healthy mistrust and loving resentment

those kinds of life-shattering mistakes you only see in films noir

they actually happen to people like you and me

you know what i mean right

you know how i feel?

it could happen to us if we aren't careful

after all, "it is sweeter now that you have tasted it too"
