He says he doesn't want to kiss me just yet
He's telling me he wants to do it right this time
He says he won't tell me he loves me just yet
He's being cautious and he wants to take his time
He says he's been engaged too quickly before
It didn't end well and learning from his crimes
He says he has the best intentions but
Did he even stop to consider mine?
And he'll be sure to like me
Sure to like me good enough
Whatever helps him sleep at night
He could say I am the one
But in the dark recesses of my mind I'll know
I'm biding my time before I go
I tell him everything he want to hear
I say I understand I'm okay with this pace
I nod and give him all my sympathy
I softly smile he tells me all about heartache
I pause when he begs me not to leave just yet
I say "don't worry I just need a little space"
He asks me if I want to marry him
Did I go too far? Is he going to break? Nah.
And he'll be sure to like me
Sure to like me good enough
Whatever helps him sleep at night
He could say I am the one
But in the dark recesses of my mind I'll know
I'm biding my time before I go
If being twenty two means being lonely and sad
Then all I'll hear is the wind sticking my head out the van
I've spent too many nights plotting revenge in my mind
For my lovers and friends and their artificial crimes
And then I made him like me
Made him like me good enough
And it did help him sleep at night
He said I am the one
No longer in my mind it's time for him to know
I think it's time time for me to go
