I threw this Halloween party
And I invited 40 of my best friends
Cate and Tommy showed up
I got 'em a drink, said, "How was your weekend?"
That's when I first heard your name
And saying it tastes like violets, rum and summer
Cate had had family stay from Canada
"Maisie, did you meet my brother?"
And then I said, "No, I didn't"
And then he started coming over
And my heart went, "Love him
He's the one and we shall wed"
And then my head said
"Are you gonna work, you gonna hurt, you gonna last forever?
And are we gonna make it, gonna break it when it's now or never?
And if it's gonna hurt, will it be worth it, and will I recover?
Are you gonna feel the way I feel, are you for real, Cate's brother?"
October ended like this, she was dressed like a witch
We were dressed in the '90s
Eyes like Lake Michigan, yeah, warmer than the sun
So blue, they could kill me
Half the time she talks like a stand-up show
She could hold you in her palm like a lawyer
Grabbed your hand in the dark
And I pull you to the car
And the speakers play Destroyer
And we pull up to the front door
And now I'm opening the front door
When we started making out
We tripped and fell into my bed
And then my head said
"Are we gonna work, we gonna hurt, we gonna last forever?
Are we gonna make it, gonna break it when it's now or never?
If it's gonna hurt, will it be worth it, and will I recover?
Are you gonna feel the way I feel, are you for real, Cate's brother?"
Will we ever get together?
We'd be perfect for each other
Will we ever get together?
And Cate's brother said
"I won't drag it out, I've got it now, life's half a life without her"
I thought, "How can I know he's for sure? It's only been a winter"
I said, "Get a flight to Canada and maybe stay the summer"
That's when I became his only girl, and now I date Cate's brother
