Lemonade

from Giant Leap Year by Michael Vickers

/

lyrics

She offered a lift, I couldn’t resist
I didn’t want to miss this occasion, and have to rebook
For the man to say, you wasted my day
Well anyway, my words would be wasted, and he’d say tough luck

And I remember every traffic light tried to stop us in our tracks
And all the shortcuts that I thought I knew would never get me there on time
And all the people who were driving slow brought all my road rage back
And with five minutes left to spare we finally crossed the finish line

And as I walked myself straight in considering why I got so damn annoyed
Just for you to pierce my skin
I saw the walls were paper-thin that made me feel a lot less paranoid
Because I heard a group of people giggling

So I offered a drink, but she had to think
She didn’t normally sink none till nighttime, she’d rather stay clean
I’d do it all day, to people’s dismay, but is there ever a right time?
Do you know what I mean?

He made my favourite lyrics in the world get even closer to my heart
I weren’t supposed to drink the night before but I still did it anyway
She showed a smile to me near the end, she looked worried at the start
She took a photo of me in the shop, she always smelt of lemonade

And as I walked myself straight in considering why I got so damn annoyed
Just for you to pierce my skin
I saw the walls were paper-thin that made me feel a lot less paranoid
Because I heard a group of people giggling

I’m just a fool with poor sense of time,
I didn’t know you knew your way around
I missed a trick when we first arrived
You acted quick and turned the whole thing round

I’m just a fool with poor sense of time,
I didn’t know you knew your way around
I missed a trick when we first arrived
You acted quick and turned the whole thing round
