References to marriage always depress me. I knew tons of couples in high school that were absolutely inseparable and seemed perfect for each other and were always on about getting married as soon as they were eighteen. Then when I met them later after graduation I'd ask, "How's (name of significant other)?" and I'd invariably get, "He/she moved away" or "It just didn't work out" and even just "Who?"
I love the song though. To paraphrase, "I Can't Believe It's Not Springsteen!" References to Jersey, "boys", streets and "corners", "angels", the "let's run away together" angle, it's even got the glockenspiel going on. It seems tailor-made for Bruce. The only thing missing is the laid-off blue collar workers.
