lyrics

Yesterday I heard the news,
A little birdie sung to me a gossip tune
Singing how you gave your hand away
I assumed that you'd send a letter
Telling your friends that you're doing better
Telling 'em about your wedding day

What happened to the girl I knew
With sassy words and attitude
And summer late night heart to hearts
I'd never guess that you forgot
To tell your friends you tied the knot
Who knew we grew so far apart?

It's safe to say that I'm sad to see that our years of youth flew
But the fact of the matter is I'm so happy for you

'Cause your so loved, and you're so free
To share this world with someone is the sweetest thing
I wish the best to both of you, Mrs.
But I don't know what your last name is
Anymore, oh no, not anymore

Do you remember turning back the clock
Seventeen with our backs against the dock
Staring up and counting out the stars
We opened up and talked about our dreams
About our lives and all the things our eyes had seen
Telling stupid jokes and laughing hard

I said I want to change the earth
That every star above is a person
I could maybe lend a hand
You said to me that in the end
That all you wanted was a friend
Someone who'd really understand

A memory you might not remember, and it's no surprise
But to think of it and see you now simply brings tears to my eyes

'Cause you're so loved, and you're so free
To share this world with someone is the sweetest thing
I wish the best to both of you, Mrs.
But I don't know that your last name is
Anymore

Do you remember life like a dandelion seed?
Constantly drifting from place to place with family
A tad brokenhearted, just praying for some dirt to grow your roots in
But it doesn't matter where you're roots finally land
'Cause home is where the heart is, you're safe at home with him

'Cause you're so loved, and you're so free
To share this world with someone is the sweetest thing
I wish the best to both of you, Mrs.
But I don't know what your last name is
Anymore, oh no, not anymore
