Verse
Polished shoes on dusty floors
Heavy hearts behind the doors
The sunlight hits the lace so bright
But no one here feels quite alright
The champagne tastes of quiet dread
And words we wish we never said
Chorus
Oh, tie the knot and pull it tight
Underneath the morning light
We smile for the photographs
Through the hollow, heavy laughs
We are only passing time
To the rhythm and the rhyme
Verse
The cello moans a lonely low
While the garden roses grow
The bride is pale, the groom is still
Against his own unspoken will
A sea of faces, cold and gray
Wishing it was some other day
Chorus
Oh, tie the knot and pull it tight
Underneath the morning light
We smile for the photographs
Through the hollow, heavy laughs
We are only passing time
To the rhythm and the rhyme
Bridge
The vows are spoken, thin and sweet
While we shuffle weary feet
An obligation, a solemn vow
We are all just strangers now
Waiting for the cake to fall
Waiting for the end of it all
Chorus
Oh, tie the knot and pull it tight
Underneath the morning light
We smile for the photographs
Through the hollow, heavy laughs
We are only passing time
To the rhythm and the rhyme
