11: 11 - Arkells

You were all done up

But it wasn’t for me

You were up at the front

Tapping on your feet

I was back at the bar

You had your eyes on the stage

You had an «X» on your hand

To tell them your age

I didn’t put my money on it

But I was

Hoping that you would be here

If I was something that you ever wanted

I’m all ears, I’m all ears

You made a wish at 11:11

I held your hips at 12:34

There was a kiss just waiting to happen

A cab was calling, outside the door

Ohhh oh ohh ohhh, I knew from the beginning

Ohhh oh ohh ohhh, it was you from the beginning

Excuses disguised

All the ones before

I’d been convincing myself

They could be something more

I said, «If you go home

And get on the phone

And tell your girlfriends about me

I’ll go home

And sleep on my own

And dream of a girl named Lonnie»

I couldn’t hold a candle to you

But you were glowing in the dark

I was nervous just standing with you

You were glowing in the dark

You made a wish at 11:11

I held your hips at 12:34

There was a kiss just waiting to happen

A cab was calling, outside the door

Ohhh oh ohh ohhh, I knew from the beginning

Ohhh oh ohh ohhh, it was you from the beginning

And you weren’t even trying

Your dirty blonde hair

Had me going wild

You were a little bit shy then

There’s no denying something so true

You made a wish at 11:11

I held your hips at 12:34

There was a kiss just waiting to happen

A cab was calling, outside the door

Ohhh oh ohh ohhh, I knew from the beginning

Ohhh oh ohh ohhh, it was you from the beginning
