Before she met me she took herself to wait five years |
|
After I met her, her teacher said "Best wait five years." |
|
I ask my neighbors, they said it's wise to wait five years. |
|
I say "Fever." |
|
I told a friend how I'm feeling and this made her sad |
|
'Cause she fears that no man will ever desire her so bad. |
|
How dare I feel this and do naught but sit on my hands. |
|
I say "Fever." |
|
Hold my heart like a hot potato, |
|
push the clock for an hour later. |
|
This is just code to decipher; |
|
found my ploughman, chased the piper. |
|
That ended up. |
|
That's all now. |
|
These are the ones who talk. |
|
Never a lick--needs her to kiss him. |
|
The first five years go by and we are no longer here. |
|
I blame myself for not taking steps to draw her near. |
|
I try to decide what to do now based on love not fear. |
|
I say "Fever." |
|
(Fo[u]r years.) |
|
Hold my heart like a hot potato, |
|
push the clock for an hour later. |
|
This is just code to decipher; |
|
found my ploughman, chased the piper. |
