WAIT A MINUTE

© Marcellus Hall 2013

This is not the way to begin it, give me one more minute

I dreamed of a truck backing up

But it was only my alarm waking me up

If I hadn’t taken the bus we never would have met

We would have met other people I bet

I only want what’s best, I won’t settle for less

Everyone knows less is more – more or less

If I turn off the TV I have to face my loneliness

It’s time to bury our differences and leave the apartment

It’s time to put our hats in the glove compartment

I admit I need help in the love department

The cards are stacked against us, it’s up in the air

She mentioned Memphis, I said let’s not even go there

Wait a minute, just a minute, give me one more minute

This is not the way to begin it, give me one more minute

I mastered the parallel bars in one week

I’d give it all up in a heartbeat

Nothing is ever like it seems

One of these days you’ll find the girl of my dreams.

First time listener, long time caller

People online look smaller and smaller

Hear the music coming through the floorboards

Everything was cool ‘til they started playing jazz chords

She put all her eggs in one basket

He gave an inch and she blew a gasket

He wrote a check and she cashed it

We let you on our tour bus and you trashed it

So I’m like give me a break, is this microphone on?

She’s got a full house and I’ve got a pair

She mentioned Paris, I said let’s not even go there

Wait a minute, just a minute, give me one more minute

This is not the way to begin it, give me one more minute

Wait a second, just a second, give me one more second

This is not the pace I reckoned, give me one more second

The sky washed up in blues and grays

We should meet up before we part ways

Do you mind if I speak in (well-worn) cliches?

“will someone please tell me what the hell is going on here?”

“look... What are you getting at?"

“listen... you’re not exactly perfect yourself”

“what is the meaning of this? it’s all very simple really”

“is there a problem, officer?”

"now if you'll excuse me, i have some business to attend to..."

“can we not have this conversation right now?!”

“don’t mention it...”

“what the hell is that supposed to mean?”

“we’ve got a little problem down here.”

“i’m sure we can work something out”

Let’s go someplace where we don’t have to shout

How’s everyone doing? you guys are great, thanks for coming out (3x)

We stopped to fill our tires with air

She mentioned Texas, I said ‘let’s not even go there’

Wait a minute, just a minute, give me one more minute

This is not the way to begin it, give me one more minute

Wait a second, just a second, give me one more second

This is not the pace I reckoned, give me one more second
