[intro:]
(everybody’s on the move)
(everybody’s in the mood)
(everybody’s running late)
(are you there?)
[verse 1:]
Another standing kitchen pregame before a party
Making small talk to folks i hardly know
And the brunette queen bee makes a joke that’s kinda mean
About the girl with blonde hair who's looks real upset
And her two friends haven’t noticed yet
She’s turning red, she’s to my left
And now she’s shaking so i set
My hand on her back and i apologize on behalf
Of her brunette friend who’s still laughing
I try to help her relax
But she’s so thankful for the comfort
That she reaches into my boxers
I don’t want to make it awkward
I don’t have the heart to stop her
[Chorus:]
But i found myself thinking about you
I can’t help thinking bout you
Can’t stop talking bout you
Even when the timing’s all wrong
Your arm in mine
Your burning hair, your shining eyes
Right person, wrong time
Yeah the timing’s all wrong
[verse 2:]
I tell her about the way your hands
Gave me healing sans romance
Hoping she might take the hint
And take her hand out of my pants
Then we uber to the second party
Where you were helping make the drinks
Even though you didn’t know the hosts
You saw a need and filled it in
There’s no parents, no rules, no food left in the fridge
They sent us snaps to make it look cool
And it was just three little kids in a trench coat
Shouting, circling the drain
Shooting blurry videos
And convincing us the party’s off the chain
[bridge:]
(everybody’s on the move)
(everybody’s on the move)
(on the move)
(are you there?)
[Chorus:]
And i found myself thinking about you
I can’t help thinking bout you
Can’t stop talking bout you
Even when the timing’s all wrong
Your arm in mine
Burning hair, shining eyes
Right person, wrong time
Yeah the timing’s all wrong
[outro:]
(no parents, no rules, no food left in the fridge)
(timing’s all wrong)
(no parents, no rules, no food left in the fridge)
(timing’s all wrong)
