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 for 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 cliché?
Do I, do I take her somewhere rich and fancy?
Or a casual café, darling, I do
Darling, I can't wait to see you today

I see you looking at the time all anxiously
Look again and check that yes still half past three
60 minutes 'til you meet the one you talking all about for weeks

So what you doing? Clean your hair (clean your hair)
Brush your teeth (mm, mm)
And don't be nervous when you two finally meet
Be a gentleman

You'll be okay
And my god, stop looking at the clock
I'll tell you when you gotta leave

You're looking good (looking good)
You're looking fresh (oh, oh)
Shoulder straight head up and look ahead
Spray this, chew that
Take this and don't forget (no, no)
Just be yourself when the clock says, "4 and 30"

Go and tell her she looks lovely
Like a classic movie cliché
Do I, do I take her somewhere rich and fancy?
Or a casual café, 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 cliché (ok, ok, I'll say it, ooh)
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
