So I sent her this text at exactly 9:30
I said "Hey, how's your day?" nothing too wordy
Just 14 letters long
So what did I do wrong?
Because it's 10 PM and my phone hasn't beeped yet
My mind's creating stories, don't know how to interpret
I'm sure she's at the gym
Or some yoga or a late-night swim
No no no, I won't let my mind confuse me
No no no, I won't let my heart deceive me
Can't allow this screen anymore
To pin me to the proverbial floor
Just come and chill, relax a bit and don't be crazy
No, don't be crazy
(spoken)
One Mississippi two Mississippi three Mississippi four Mississippi five
(sung)
It's 10:15, I feel like something's lurking
I better call Verizon, just to check that it's working
Maybe she tried to call
I need tech support, that's all
Or maybe I should take a tiny glance at her Facebook
And Snapchat while we're at it, what's the harm in one look?
Don't wanna be a freak
Just take a little peek
Or what if she's done with me
And she is ignoring me?
Or what if she's met a man
Started making plans?
And by 11:15
I'll be alone forever and ever be alone
Just me, my cat, and my iPhone
Drunk and jobless, stuck at home
We all know what happens next
All because I sent that text!
(spoken)
I mean, that's one possible option
(sung)
So time is ticking by and tension is mounting
57 minutes 30 seconds, but who's counting?
I need a Xanax stat
Is there an app for that?
So Netflix is in order, need a real distraction
Desperate matters often call for desperate action
Not sure how this ends...
(spoken) Alright, look! It's season 1 of Friends!
No no no, I won't let my mind confuse me
No no no, I won't let my heart deceive me
Come and chill, relax a bit and don't be
Don't be
Don't be
