11:11
You were all done up,
But it wasn't for me.
You were up at the front
To tap on your feet.
I was back at the bar.
You had your eyes on the stage.
You had an "X" on your hand
To tell them your age.
I didn't put my money on it.
But I was
Hoping that you would be here.
If I was something that you ever wanted,
I'm all ears.
You made a wish at 11:11.
I held your hips at 12:34.
There was a kiss just waiting to happen.
A cab was calling outside the door.
Oh, I knew from the beginning.
Oh, it was you from the beginning.
Excuses disguised
All the ones before.
I've been convincing myself
They could be something more.
I said, "If you go home
And you get on the phone,
And you tell your girlfriends about me,
I'll go home
And I'll sleep on my own,
And dream of a girl named Lonnie."
I couldn't hold a candle to ya,
But you were glowing in the dark.
I was nervous just standing with ya.
You were glowing in the dark.
And you weren't even trying --
Your dirty blonde hair
Had me going wild.
You were a little bit shy then.
There's no denying something so true
