yearlongday

if i asked you to go out with me, would you answer wait and see,

test my perseverance?

because i think we’d do well as a couple if we can avoid the trouble

from outside interference.

[oh] now isn’t soon enough.

[oh] no use in acting tough.

[oh] too late, i’ve called your bluff.

i liked you from the very start at first as friends, but now my heart

is feeling something extra.

but you act like it doesn’t matter that my emotions have been scattered

all across the spectrum.

[oh] now isn’t soon enough.

[oh] no use in acting tough.

[oh] too late, i’ve called your bluff.

this could my only chance to tell you what i’ve always wanted to express.

last time when i had the chance, it fell through. now, i’m going to get it off my chest.

pay attention. are you listening?

i’m not asking, i’m insisting:

love is worth the wait.

you and i are more alike than different, but people say that opposites attract.

maybe that is why you have the mindset of moving one step forward, two steps back.

pay attention. are you listening?

i’m not asking, i’m insisting:

love is worth the wait.

one opportunity to fall in love with me.

is that too much to ask? is it true… this is my last chance?

love will have to wait.
