I am standing on this corner

With two coffees hoping she will turn up

The girl I finally asked out

The one I finally managed to speak to

Say hi do you fancy grabbing a coffee sometime

I am wondering whether she will Still

Be the same girl as yesterday

The one with spring in her eyes

And summer in her hair

Will she notice the stains on my coat

And the stutter on my lips

Is she caught in traffic

Or is this a part of some elaborate joke

Will I scare her off with my stories

Of someone I once knew

Who looked just like her

Or will she walk right passed me anyway

Will I stop shaking

Looking desperate as if I need a smoke or a drink

Do I tell her that she looks pretty

And I have watched her for a year

Or does that sound kind of creepy

Does she really want to see me

Or is she just being polite

 

Hi there really sorry I am late

I’m not trying to play it cool

I was wondering hoping that you would still be here

And not brush me off

Because I talk too much when I’m nervous

Should I explain that I have been waiting for

You to ask me out for about a year

Should I mention the stain on your coat

Or just pretend it’s not there

I know I’m kind of flaky

And would not blame you if you ran

But you seem kind of nice

So, I am pleased that you finally broke the ice
