liz callaway - that's the way i've always heard it should be lyrics

[verse 1: liz callaway]
my father sits at night with no lights on
his cigarette glows in the dark
the living room is still
i walk by, no remark

[verse 2: ann hampton callaway]
i tiptoe past the master bedroom where
my mother reads her magazines
i hear her call sweet dreams
but i forget how to dream

[chorus: liz & ann hampton callaway]
but you say it’s time we moved in together
and raised a family of our own, you and me
well, that’s the way i’ve always heard it should be
you want to marry me
we’ll marry

[verse 3: liz callaway]
my friends from college, they’re all married now
they have their houses and their lawns
they have their silent noons
tearful nights, angry dawns

[verse 4: ann hampton callaway]
their children hate them for the things they’re not
they hate themselves for what they are
and yet they drink, they laugh
close the wound, hide the scar
[chorus: liz callaway & ann hampton callaway]
but you say it’s time we moved in together
and raised a family of our own, you and me
well, that’s the way i’ve always heard it should be
you want to marry me
we’ll marry

[verse 5: liz callaway, ann hampton callaway]
you say that we can keep our love alive
babe, all i know is what i see (all i know is what i see)
the couples cling and claw
and drown in love’s debris

[verse 6: ann hampton callaway, liz & ann hampton callaway]
you say we’ll soar like two birds through the clouds
but soon you’ll cage me on your shelf
i’ll never learn to be just me first
by myself

[chorus: liz callaway, ann hampton callaway, liz & ann hampton callaway]
well okay, it’s time we moved in together (it’s time we moved in together)
and raised a family of our own, you and me (family of our own)
well, that’s the way i’ve always heard it should be
you want to marry me
we’ll marry
