lyrics

Does time get any faster when I’m chasing your stare
Do I even know what time it is, I don’t really care
Is it anywhere near possible for me to even know
Your name

Well to be honest, I do know your name though I didn’t ask you to share
Do I just call it out, pretend it was a dare
But that would make me look shallow, like a fellow with his stereos
Off and still over his ears

I’ve worried about the weather
I’ve worried about class
Just never worried about
The opening question I should ask

Why are you waiting around here
On this step around the corner
Waiting around here
In this place so cold
Well I can’t help but feel the butterflies in my tummy
Only you can make them taste so yummy

I’ve only hit on a nail on a finger with a hammer
Never on a girl with a smile like the summer
That explains why I wrapped a bandage ‘round
My hand

So do I get to sit beside you on this side of the bench
Imagine up stories about a painful rusty wrench
Oh damn, stop scrutinising my hand
‘Cos it’s cold and clammy like blueberry jam

I’ve dreamed about the weather
I’ve dreamed a lot in class
Dreaming for a day like this
To put my arms ‘round your pitiful dress

What I meant to say was …
To put my heart in a beautiful mess

Why are you waiting around here
On this step around the corner
Waiting around here
In this place so cold
Well I can’t help but feel the butterflies in my tummy
Only you can make me pace

Why am I waiting around here
Do I step around the corner
Waiting around here
Well I’m not so bold
Well I can’t help but feel the butterflies in my tummy
Only you can make me feel so funny
