Jake Wesley Rogers - Weddings and Funerals

Copied!edit Lyrics
original text at lyrnow.com/794766
Verse 1
Friends are getting high
Married in July
It’s the second ring
But they say this one’s for life

I don’t wanna die
At least not tonight
Cuz I got shit to do
And it wouldn’t be polite

Pre-Chorus
Can I call you
Or do I need a reason why?

Chorus
Everything’s always
Weddings and funerals
No room to celebrate
Everyday miracles
Like the sun in the sky
Like your body on mine
Everything’s always
Weddings and funerals

Verse 2
My parents got hitched
Back in ’86
Like they invented love
On a summer solstice

My grandfather died
From missing his wife
Whеn he invented dеath
I couldn’t make myself cry

Pre-Chorus
Can I come over
Or do I need reason why?

Chorus
Everything’s always
Weddings and funerals
No room to celebrate
Everyday miracles
Like the sun in the sky
Like your body on mine
Everything’s always
Weddings and funerals
Weddings and funerals

Bridge
It’s my honeymoon
It’s my dying day
It’s the end of the world
And I’m feeling great

Outro
Told you I love you
Glad I didn’t wait
Glad I didn’t wait
For weddings and funerals
They’re just a spectacle
Look at my green eyes
Dreaming of marigold
Like the sun in the sky
Like your body on mine
Not gonna wait for
Weddings and funerals
Weddings and funerals
Weddings and funerals

Biography

edit bio
Soulful vocal melodies, driving musical arrangements, and artful lyricism are where Jake Wesley Rogers' shines – the sum cascading forward in striking compositions. The results quiet a room – making an immediate appeal to the soul. Rogers' age is starkly contrasted with his immensely powerful lyrics and equally rousing singing voice – an electric stage presence at the intersection of Madonna and James Blake.

Jake Wesley Rogers’ musical journey began in his younger years, inspired by a torrent of coming-of-age questions and fuelled by the vocal powerhouse artists of the time (Adele, Amy Winehouse, Lady Gaga). But the adventure he now embarks on is a true voyage of discovery, rendered in song with earnest honesty. What was once a young man finding his way through solitary expression, now emerges an artist embracing a new future standing on the shoulders of his own younger self.
