about

Day 24 of fun-a-day 2015.
Inspired by "Spiderwebs" by No Doubt
(Also inspired by my wedding vows)
Also sort of a cover of "Spiderwebs"
Dedicated to Kayleigh Small and all of our friends and family

lyrics

Words aren't easy coming out
Sitting at the keyboard for an hour at your mother's house
Surrounded by my best friends and family I could easily shout
My life changed the moment I first saw you, there can be no doubt

Well we made the groomsmen cry
And we beat the looming rain
Now we're under a pink sky
And the music's playing

And we storm the dance floor then
And the whole house comes to life
You woke up my girlfriend
You're gonna go to bed my wife

And now we raise a glass
And the dads spill drinks
And the whole floor shakes
Under stomping feet
And the rare collision
Of widespread friends
If we hold our wine
Will the night not end?

And we hold our breath
And the song begins:

Sorry I'm not home right now I'm walking into spiderwebs so leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story but leave a message and I'll call you back

So many faces looking out
Too many people that I love to even count
Surrounded by our best friends and family in your lovely gown
I promise I will always love you, there can be no doubt

Well we made the groomsmen cry
And we beat the looming rain
Now we're under a pink sky
And the music's playing

And we storm the dance floor then
And the whole house comes to life
You woke up my girlfriend
You're gonna go to bed my bride

And now we raise a glass
And you make your speech
And I shake so many hands
And my cousin gets my grandma to her feet
Oh and the songs we love
And the endless drinks
If we all jump up and down
Will we make this dance floor sink?

And now everybody sing:

Sorry I'm not home right now I'm walking into spiderwebs so leave a message and I'll call you back
A likely story but leave a message and I'll call you back
And it's all your fault I screen my phone calls
No matter who calls I gotta screen my phone calls

I'm walking into spiderwebs so leave a message and I'll call you back
I'm walking into spiderwebs so leave a message and I'll call you back
