Lyrics to "Archie, Marry Me" by Toronto band Alvvays


“Archie, Marry Me” by Alvvays is a goddamn good song.
I think these lyrics are mostly correct.

Update: These lyrics have been corrected with the assistance of Alvvays via Twitter!

You've expressed explicitly your contempt for matrimony
You’ve student loans to pay and will not risk the alimony

We spend our days locked in a room content inside a bubble
And in the nighttime we go out and scour the streets for trouble

Hey hey
Marry me Archie
Hey hey
Marry me Archie

During the summer take me sailing out on the Atlantic
I won’t set my sights on other seas there is no need to panic

So honey take me by the hand and we can sign some papers
Forget the invitations, floral arrangements and bread makers

Hey hey
Marry me Archie
Hey hey
Marry me Archie

Too late to go out and
Too young to stay in
They're talking about
Us living in sin

Hey hey
Marry me Archie
Hey hey
Marry me Archie

Hey hey
Marry me Archie
Hey hey
A-R-C-H-I-E
