Lyrics

You poured me a glass of some Cabernet Ten dollars from the liquor store across the way I parted my lips and took a sip You parted yours and started on our memory trip Back to cherry-topped sundaes on that summer day You were just about to leave but I begged you to stay Five minutes to make; Five minutes gone Five years later and the flavour lingers on (Chorus:) Here we sit with a bottle of wine Reminiscing as if we let the tapes rewind Not a moment spent second guessing our choices As our memories play to the sound of our voices Remember that December day we planned to go out But it was way too cold for us to even leave the house So we dreamed of breezy beaches lying on your bed And let the winter weather wither within our heads 'Cause all those times we talked of traveling to somewhere sunny Never went anywhere 'cause we had no money And as the honeymoon is coming soon I think it's funny That I'll never get to see you in trunks (Chorus) I met your mom and dad when I had such a fever I shivered when I shook their hands, they thought I was either About to lose my cool or perhaps I was a junkie But despite that, and even to this day, they still love me I still think about all those fights we had Over something small but they got so bad Until we made up just by talking And we stayed up all night walking Through the reasons that the two of us should stay together and the things to do to make it through the nasty weather But you and I always knew the truth That you were never meant for me and I'm not meant for you (Chorus x 2) Even though you told me I was free to crash on the couch I think it's better if I head 'er 'fore the sun comes out The bottle is empty and my throat is dry And there's not much left to say about "you and I" So goodbye to "you and I" 'cause now it's "us" and "them" Our lives are moving forward and we can't pretend We'll have time for each other like we did back then But we can still make time for things like this again You know this meeting was to celebrate the end of a chapter And to mark the start of one happily-ever-after For the other what the future holds, we just can't tell But if we knew would we go through with it? It's just as well (Chorus) I can tell you're tired by the way you're blinking your eyes I think it's time for us to hug and say our good-bye's This meeting was to celebrate the end of a chapter And to mark the start of one happily-ever-after
