A tale of unconventional love unfolds in this indie-pop anthem. The protagonist is a woman, deeply in love with 'Archie,' who doesn't conform to societal norms. Despite his apprehensions about marriage due to financial constraints and the fear of divorce, she yearns for commitment. She suggests an escape from the traditional wedding fuss - no invitations or floral arrangements - just them and paperwork. The song also touches upon their rebellious youth; too late to party, yet too young for settling down, they're criticized for 'living in sin.' Yet, it's clear that her feelings are strong as she persistently proposes throughout the song. This tune perfectly encapsulates a modern romance where love trumps societal expectations and financial constraints.
Archie, Marry Me
Lyrics
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, 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, hey
