Out of time

I’ve been trying to catch her eye
That girl at the bar
That girl with the tattoos and knee-high boots
Sipping her glass of red wine
Reading the belle jar by Sylvia Plath
That girl in the tight white dress
That shows off all her curves
And her cocoa skin
That girl with eyes like deep lagoons
That I wish I could dive into
I wish that she would notice me
I wish that I could make her smile
I want to go over and talk to her
Just hang out for a while
To put some tunes on the juke box
And shoot some pool
I’m not talking about falling in love
And taking her down the isle
But I’d like to feel her heart beating by my own
I want to hear that melody
I want to hear that tone
I want to shower kisses all over her face
I want to be her hero
I want to touch base
I want to get close to her and get under her skin
To take her too my bedroom and live in sin
I long to feel her touch
I want to cross the line
I want to feel her fingers running down my spine
But she just left the bar
So I guess I’m out of time.
And the juke box plays endless summer nights 'All at once I looked and you were gone' And I feel like it's mocking me But I suppose she isn't the one.
