[00:18.91] Now and then she rereads the manuscript

[00:24.49] Of the entire torrid affair

[00:29.80] They compared their licenses

[00:32.45] He said, "I'm not a donor but

[00:34.84] I'd give you my heart if you needed it"

[00:40.16] She rolled her eyes and said

[00:41.77] "You're a professional"

[00:44.70] He said, "No, just a good samaritan"

[00:50.01] He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was

[00:54.83] Soon they'd be pushin' strollers

[00:58.56] But soon it was over

[01:19.27] In the age of him, she wished she was thirty

[01:25.38] And made coffee every morning in a French press

[01:30.18] Afterwards she only ate kids' cereal

[01:35.51] And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed

[01:40.58] Then she dated boys who were her own age

[01:45.38] With dart boards on the backs of their doors

[01:50.42] She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years

[01:55.53] Everything had been above board

[01:59.25] She wasn't sure

[02:19.98] And the years passed

[02:23.21] Like scenes of a show

[02:25.09] The Professor said to write what you know

[02:29.87] Lookin' backwards

[02:33.59] Might be the only way to move forward

[02:40.23] Then the actors

[02:43.42] Were hitting their marks

[02:45.29] And the slow dance

[02:48.22] Was alight with the sparks

[02:50.63] And the tears fell

[02:53.60] In synchronicity with the score

[03:00.24] And at last

[03:03.70] She knew what the agony had been for

[03:11.18] The only thing that's left is the manuscript

[03:16.22] One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

[03:21.54] Now and then I reread the manuscript

[03:26.58] But the story isn't mine anymore
