Kicking Howard Central Time Throws You Off
Isn't it weird that this time last year,
I only knew you through a friend and had a vague concept of "I'll never see her again."
Then through a steady stream of phone calls,
That happened last fall, were you nervous?
Did central time make you forget how old you were?
And you'll be mine in the end,
For now we'll talk nights and weekends.
Just wanted to say, I love you.
Just, just wanted to wait 'till it felt right.
It feels right all the time,
I'll kiss the corner of your eye.
Now i've made up my mind,
You're going to know before tonight,
Know before tonight on your parents driveway.
I thought I'd wait until a good time,
To say "Hey Ash I'm in love with you" and wait to hear you say I love you too.
I thought Clearwater would be a good spot,
Take a long walk on the beach and pour my heart out at your feet.
You'd say your mine till the end,
Not just nights and weekends.
Just wanted to say, I love you.
Just, just wanted to wait till it felt right.
If feels right all the time,
I'll kiss the corner of your eye.
Now I've made up my mind,
You're going to know before tonight,
Know before tonight on your parents driveway
In New York for the 4th of July,
That was so kind, thank God for my friends,
Those fireworks - we will never end.
But I look forward to in the mean time,
No more cell phones or instant messaging and sleeping with you next to me.
