Before 4:30 (She Said…)

I look at the time through anxious eyes

Leave it alone they say a watched clock never boils

But I still watch away anyway

I hold my breath a little longer

How can I say or do a thing?

When I got so many things

Racing through my head

Before 4:30

Before 4:30

Can't do a thing

With her, all my brain

Before 4:30

Before 4:30

How should I try

To make her mine?

Do I tell her she looks lovely

Like a classic movie cliche?

Do I, do I take you somewhere rich and fancy?

Or a casual cafe, darling, I do

Darling, I can't wait to see you today

I see you lookin' at the time all anxiously

Look again and check that yes, still half past 3

60 minutes till you meet the one you talkin' all about for weeks

So what you doin'? Clean your hair

Brush your teeth

And don't be nervous when you two finally meet

Be a gentleman

You'll be okay

And my god, stop lookin' at the clock, I'll tell you when you gotta leave

You lookin' good

You lookin' fresh

Shoulder straight head up look ahead

Spray this

Chew that

Take this, and don't forget

Just be yourself when the clock

Says 4 and 30

Go and tell her she looks lovely

Like a classic movie cliche

Do I, do I take you somewhere rich and fancy?

Or a casual cafe, darling, I do

Darling, I can't wait to see you today

Can't wait to see you today

So I told her she looks lovely

Like a classic movie cliche

And I took her to the park

And talked while counting all of the stars

And when we said goodnight

She left me with five little words

Can't wait for next time

She said
