about

VOWS is a situation that I found myself in with a girlfriend. I once turned to her with this confident, ultra-suave attitude and asked if she had only one hour to live, with whom would she choose to spend that last 60 minutes?

I was VERY sure I knew what her answer would be. And, that answer would be me.

Then, came back her reply - HER MOTHER!

Now, I don't ask any more questions.

lyrics

Vows
(Words & music by Michael Mazzarella)

Remember when I asked you if you knew you were to die within an hour?
Remember that time?
I just had to know who you would spend it with
I waited for an answer and you took your time

It's the end of the world, it's the end of the world
So we'll stop and we'll stare all night
It's the end of the world, it's the end of the world
So we'll stop and we'll get it right
All right?

Hypothetically, I was just reaching - such ambition needs approval
It was not in sight
Realistically I knew the strings I pulled were attached to a thinker
I tick-tocked inside

It's the end of the world, it's the end of the world
So we'll stop and we'll get it right
It's the end of the world, it's the end of the world
So we'll hold us with all our might
All right?

Once was not enough I had to ask again so I could understand it
Is that such a crime?
Second times are never quite the same they say - I never should have bothered
You proved it all right

It's the end of the world, it's the end of the world
So we'll stop and we'll stare all night
It's the end of the world, it's the end of the world
So we'll stop and we'll get it right
All right?

It's our time
