lyrics

(mm, mm)

You text me nothing much at half past two
I've read it eighteen times, I've got it memorised
I'm not the girl who waits — except I do
And every hour I don't reply's a lie

I could say it plain (say it plain)
I could ruin this tonight
I keep it in my chest like rain
I keep the porch light on all night

Half past two, half past two
Everybody's sleeping but I'm awake with you
Half past two, half past two
Say a nothing-much again and I'll come through

Your jacket's on my chair, it's been a week
I haven't washed it and I won't pretend
I put it on to fall asleep last Tuesday night
I'd like to have you back, and not as friends

If you meant it, say it twice.
I don't trust a thing I only hear one time.
Say it twice.
(BASS RETURNS)

Half past two, half past two
Everybody's sleeping but I'm awake with you
Half past two, half past two
Say a nothing-much again and I'll come through

(half past two...)
