lolagraceLOVAHS – pleaseeee tell me you too have your wedding song picked out…. even if you aren’t even dating anyone? I think this is normal, right? Not gonna lie – we totally obsess over wedding boards on Pinterest too – but a good song tends to stick with you. According to the boss lady – it wouldn’t be appropriate to ask someone you’ve hooked up with to play at your wedding ceremony… but it would be the ultimate antibride move, don’t ya think?
Anywho – back in the day, a real relationship was defined by the 8-12 songs you could fit on a mix tape – I definitely received a couple, but with modern technology, my list of online playlist has grown bountiful – and best – there is noooo limit to how many songs you can use to express how much you love me … and want to get in my pants, lets be real.
For me, music totes brings me back to the moment, be it the morning after a breakup, a wild night on the dance floor or the last song on a movie soundtrack that made me cry into my XL popcorn. But this song – We Can’t Be Beat – The Walkmen – is one that has really stuck with me, even after the relationship reached its current status. I would like to think I would ask my future hubby what song he would want to dance to… but this has been the frontrunner since its debut on my ~*playlist*~ back in November 2012. Anywho – here are the lyrics + a link to the YouTube. Forever yours, X0X0 the lolagraceTEAM.
For your sing along pleasure, I listed the lyrics below! You’re welcome.
I was the Duke of Earl
The Duke of Earl
But it couldn’t last
I was the Pony Express
But I ran out of gas
*(listen, I was the chaser – for almost a year, and that can be exhausting.)
Oh golden dreams
Golden dreams, all lose their glow
I don’t need perfection, I love the whole
*(in reality, no one is perfect – that’s part of my definition of an antibrideMOTTO)
Oh give me a life, that needs correction
Nobody loves, loves perfection
Loneliness, loneliness will run you through
All the kids are laughing, I’m laughing too
If you want my eyes, take my eyes, they’re always true
If you want my heart, take my heart, it’s right here for you
Its been so long, been so long, but I made it through
Its been so long, been so long, but I made it through
Its been so long
We’ll never leave
We can’t be beat
We can’t be beat
We’ll never leave
We can’t be beat
The world is ours
We can’t be beat
We can’t be beat
*(I just imagine saying these final lines whenever we’re inevitably fighting about, well, anything.)
