Why Don't We?
Damian Marshall Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm pretty sure you've probably heard every typical line that a guy could say,
So here goes nothing, I was just wondering what you?re doing Saturday

Why don't we catch a little movie,
Take a little walk,
Find a little park bench,
Have a little talk
Share a little bit about where this is gonna go

Why don't we plan a big party,
Send invitations,
Rent a big hall with a ton of decorations,
Pick out a cake and a dress and a diamond ring

Then we'll build us a house with a white picket fence,
Trade in the truck for a van full of kids,
Live and laugh and love faithfully,
Why don't we?

Did you catch all that? Did I go too fast?
I really hope I didn't forget something,
Take a year or too to think it all through while it's sinking in

Why don't we catch a little movie,
Take a little walk,
Find a little park bench,
Have a little talk
Share a little bit about where this is gonna go

Why don't we plan a big party,
Send invitations,
Rent a big hall with a ton of decorations,
Pick out a cake and a dress and a diamond ring

Then we'll build us a house with a white picket fence,
Trade in the truck for a van full of kids,
Live and laugh and love faithfully,
Why don't we?

Why don't we catch a little movie,
Take a little walk,
Find a little park bench,
Have a little talk
Share a little bit about where this is gonna go

Why don't we plan a big party,
Send invitations,
Rent a big hall with a ton of decorations,
Pick out a cake and a dress and a diamond ring

Then we'll build us a house with a white picket fence,
Trade in the truck for a van full of kids,
Live and laugh and love faithfully,
Why don't we?
Why don't we?

Why don't we?
Why don't we?
