It all comes down to this
Someone happy to see you when you arrive
A hand to hold while you pray
The kitchen occupied
And the bathroom sink is always wet
And there’s a stack of tires in the extra room
And you sit in patio chairs
It’s not choosing the sofa so much as laughing in
the furniture store
Not choosing a movie so much as staying at the end
of each night
Nowadays many couples prefer separate sinks
We are just excited to be brushing our teeth
together
And that is what it comes down to, my friends
Those two penultimate couplets are perfect.
