Catholic Guilt A Boutique Affair Lyrics

[Instrumental Intro]

[Verse 1]
It's hard to make friends in your twenties
It's even harder to make them in your thirties
At this point, I'm really dreading the thought of
Making it, to my forties
Once you've reached that point of over the hill
Are you making friends
Or padding out numbers for your funeral?
At this stage, mine's going to be an exclusive event

[Verse 2]
The grudges that you hold through your twenties
Are gonna be harder to break in your thirties
And I can't imagine why we'd even
Bother in our forties
Once a holes been that deeply dug
Does it make sense to just cover it up
And move on leave regrets
To gather dust?

[Chorus]
A boutique affair is what they'll call it (Is what they'll call it)
A boutique affair for "What's-his-name"
(For "What's-his-name", for "What's-his-name")
He threw a party back in high school (Back in high school)
But if I try just can't put a face to the name (Didn't we...) [Bridge]
Do this all instinctively
When we were kids out on the street?
And we'd meet up with other kids
Who shared similar interests
There were no empty words, no doublespeak
No saying yes when it's "no" you mean
Or maybe
As long as there's no one around to see

[Chorus]
A boutique affair is what they'll call it (Is what they'll call it)
A boutique affair for "What's-his-name"
(For "What's-his-name", for "What's-his-name")
He threw a party back in high school (Back in high school)
But if I try just can't put a face to the name

[Outro]
A boutique affair is what they'll call it (Is what they'll call it)
A boutique affair for "What's-his-name"
(For "What's-his-name", for "What's-his-name")
He threw a party back in high school (Back in high school)
But if I try just can't put a face to the name
