"The Manuscript"

[00:20.12] Now and then, she rereads the manuscript

[00:25.18] Of the entire torrid affair

[00:30.48] They compared their licenses

[00:32.61] He said, "I'm not a donor but

[00:35.27] I'd give you my heart if you needed it"

[00:40.32] She rolled her eyes and said

[00:42.18] "You're a professional"

[00:45.37] He said, "No, just a good samaritan"

[00:50.41] He said that if the sex was half as good as the conversation was

[00:55.73] Soon, they'd be pushin' strollers

[00:59.44] But, soon, it was over

[01:03.18] .

[01:20.70] In the age of him, she wished she was thirty

[01:25.49] And made coffee every morning in a French press

[01:31.07] Afterwards, she only ate kids' cereal

[01:35.63] And couldn't sleep unless it was in her mother's bed

[01:41.20] Then she dated boys who were her own age

[01:45.72] With dart boards on the backs of their doors

[01:50.77] She thought about how he said since she was so wise beyond her years

[01:56.08] Everything had been above board

[01:59.81] She wasn't sure

[02:03.83] .

[02:20.54] And the years passed like scenes of a show

[02:25.63] The professor said to write what you know

[02:30.67] Lookin' backwards might be the only way to move forward

[02:40.77] Then the actors were hitting their marks

[02:45.84] And the slow dance was alight with the sparks

[02:50.89] And the tears fell in synchronicity with the score

[03:00.77] And at last, she knew what the agony had been for

[03:11.93] The only thing that's left is the manuscript

[03:16.49] One last souvenir from my trip to your shores

[03:22.36] Now and then, I reread the manuscript

[03:27.14] But the story isn't mine anymore
