I stayed late at the party, 'til everyone went home
I asked if I could kiss you here in your velvet living room
then the words came quick like something long forgotten has been remembered
then the world was fixed as the pieces came together and assembled

'Cause we're not afraid of a pronoun
and we can walk through walls together now
our world is subject-predicated
on the present-perfect of our love

You help me forget myself and remember where to start
all weekend Sunday afternoons in the Sunday sun
watching shadows climb the wall and just talking to you
I'm lost in finger-tipped dreams of you

'Cause we're not afraid of a pronoun
and we can walk through walls together now
our world is subject-predicated
on the present-perfect of our love

So here we are today... making promises
to love - but not obey. I wouldn't have it any other way
then the words came quick like something long forgotten has been remembered
then the world was fixed as the pieces came together and assembled

'Cause we're not afraid of a pronoun
and we can walk through walls together now
our world is subject-predicated
on the present-perfect of our love
