Wrens - 13 Months In 6 Minutes lyrics

rate me

Not yet 21<br />

With introductions done<br />

A first slow dance just ends<br />

I was at my best<br />

We ignored the rest<br />

(my band and your friends)<br />

But as better night became best day<br />

We left the party while last records played<br />

What started as dessert back at your house<br />

Ended on the couch<br />

Hours at your mouth<br />

Sunday's on our hands<br />

We followed were it led<br />

I followed you to bed<br />

We started secret plans<br />

Forward 7 months: I've only seen you once<br />

I never call on time<br />

Trying to seem tough<br />

I said one visit's enough<br />

Enough to keep you mine<br />

(of course it wasn't)<br />

We were done by June<br />

You'd graduate and leave for london soon<br />

Your layover at newark's near my house<br />

We met for dinner there<br />

Just one hour to spare<br />

Your 20's all mapped out<br />

I'm in my driest drought<br />

Feeling old and shot and how<br />

And this is what I thought:<br />

I seem to still be caught<br />

I'm a footnote at best<br />

I envy who comes next<br />

Wish we could just make out<br />

'The hour's almost up'<br />

You said into your cup<br />

And it makes no difference now<br />

As I help lift your bags out<br />

That I'm lost and out of rope<br />

While on my wrist you wrote<br />

Your newest number down<br />

I kind of said your name<br />

But you'd turn to your plane<br />

So I backed my car out<br />

I knew we'd never write<br />

(somehow that seemed all right)<br />

But this counts as calling three years out
