Pressure to party, gonna stay in Nothing good can come from me drinking I would run, shoes off, straight back to you I know where you live, I used to live there too Pressure to feel fine after the fact Out on the dance floor with my body back Meeting a stranger, touching his face I don't want anyone to ever take your place Pressure to go strike out on your own Pressure to learn from being alone Pressure to not leave it for too long Before you find another heart where you belong Pressure to come up with conversation Makes the family fine with my isolation I know I've locked myself in my room But I'll open up the door and try to love again soon Try to love again soon Try to love again soon Try to love again soon Pressure to act the right way around And we're both in the crowd with people surrounding us What do I do? Don't know how it works Pressure to not let the inside of my mind Spill onto the floor for our friends to find And, oh, what do I do? 'Cause God how it hurts Pressure to come up with reasons why Sometimes it might look to you like I'm not even trying I know I've locked myself in my room But I'll open up the door and try to love again soon Try to love again soon Try to love again soon Try to love again soon

I'd rather dance with you than talk with you So why don't we just move into the other room There's space for us to shake and hey, I like this tune Even if I could hear what you said I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear Because I haven't read a single book all year And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you The music's too loud, and the noise from the crowd Increases the chance of misinterpretation So let your hips do the talking I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you

You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony You've student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony We spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble And in the night time we go out and scour the streets for trouble Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie During the summer take me sailing out on the Atlantic I won't set my sights on other seas, there is no need to panic So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Too late to go out, too young to stay in They're talking about us living in sin Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, marry me, Archie Hey, hey, A.R.C.H.I.E.

Sensitive heart, you're doomed from the start Meant to play the penitent part Inquisitive mind, you're destined to find Tempted fate and knowledge divine Here and there a pitied pair Denoted by a scene unfair Will you make my children bear The consequences everywhere? Is it so hard to forgive The way that we have been made to live? How much is required to set things right? Have you confused your power with might? Here and there a pitied pair Denoted by a scene unfair Will you make my children bear The consequences everywhere? Imminent you seem to be A picture of fragility What is it that you think of me? Is it a woman that you see? Is it so hard to forgive The way that we have been made to live? How much is required to set things right? Have you confused your power with might? Is it so hard to forgive The way that we have been made to live? How much is required to set things right? Have you confused your power with might?
