[00:18.82] Now and then she rereads the manuscript

[00:23.44] Of the entire torrid affair

[00:28.81] They compared their licenses

[00:31.83] He said, "I'm not a donor but

[00:34.29] I'd give you my heart if you needed it"

[00:38.87] She rolled her eyes and said

[00:41.33] "You're a professional"

[00:42.47] He said, "No, just a good samaritan"

[00:49.19] He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was

[00:54.58] Soon they'd be pushin' strollers

[00:57.86] But soon it was over

[01:19.51] In the age of him, she wished she was thirty

[01:23.29] And made coffee every morning in a Frеnch press

[01:28.67] Afterwards she only atе kids' cereal

[01:33.77] And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed

[01:39.44] Then she dated boys who were her own age

[01:43.75] With dart boards on the backs of their doors

[01:49.68] She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years

[01:55.05] Everything had been above board

[01:58.60] She wasn't sure

[02:18.59] And the years passed like scenes of a show

[02:24.78] The professor said to write what you know

[02:29.66] Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward

[02:36.09] Then the actors were hitting their marks

[02:44.92] And the slow dance was alight with the sparks

[02:50.03] And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score

[02:56.48] And at last, she knew what the agony had been for

[03:11.15] The only thing that's left is the manuscript

[03:15.18] One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

[03:20.84] Now and then I reread the manuscript

[03:25.70] But the story isn't mine anymore
