Cate’s Brother (Matt's Version)

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
