The Thrill Of Thirty Seconds Lyrics
It was five past the hour
When you said your train was due
But in the spirit of the evening
I arrived on fifty-two
I was going through my inbox
On a regular basis
And occasionally scanning
Through all the rush-hour faces
I wandered down the platform
But I could not see a sign
I looked at the clock
And it was only fifty-nine
Just you and me together
That's the way it needs to be
I'm standing here, waiting for you
On Platform 23
[CHORUS]
It feels like time is slowing down
For our secret rendezvous in town
As anticipation beckons
I start counting down the seconds
My heart beats fast but the clock ticks slowly
You could be my one and only
As anticipation beckons
I've felt the thrill of thirty seconds
Felt the thrill of thirty seconds
It almost seems too perfect
As you glide along the floor
I looked for imperfections
And loved everything I saw
I'd never feld so scared
Infatuated or excited
I felt just like a school-boy
And for some reason I liked it
I wandered down the platform
But I could not see a sign
I looked at the clock
And it was only fifty-nine
Just you and me together
That's the way it's gonna be
I'm standing here, waiting for you
On Platform 23
[CHORUS]
And I could not seem to settle
So I tried to make a call
And then I suddenly remembered
What you'd written on my wall
It wasn't even special
Just the fact that it was you
And the fact that we were meeting
Was just too good to be true
[CHORUS]
When you said your train was due
But in the spirit of the evening
I arrived on fifty-two
I was going through my inbox
On a regular basis
And occasionally scanning
Through all the rush-hour faces
But I could not see a sign
I looked at the clock
And it was only fifty-nine
Just you and me together
That's the way it needs to be
I'm standing here, waiting for you
On Platform 23
It feels like time is slowing down
For our secret rendezvous in town
As anticipation beckons
I start counting down the seconds
My heart beats fast but the clock ticks slowly
You could be my one and only
As anticipation beckons
I've felt the thrill of thirty seconds
Felt the thrill of thirty seconds
As you glide along the floor
I looked for imperfections
And loved everything I saw
I'd never feld so scared
Infatuated or excited
I felt just like a school-boy
And for some reason I liked it
But I could not see a sign
I looked at the clock
And it was only fifty-nine
Just you and me together
That's the way it's gonna be
I'm standing here, waiting for you
On Platform 23

It wasn't even special

And the fact that we were meeting
Was just too good to be true

[CHORUS] It feels like time is slowing down For our secret rendezvous in town Has anticipation beckons I start counting down the seconds My heart beats fast but my clock ticks slowly You can be my one and only Has anticipation beckons I felt the thrill of thrity seconds
It almost seems too perfect As you glide among the floor I look for inperfections I've looked everything I saw I've never felt so scared Infatuated or excited I felt just like a schoolboy And for some reason I liked it I wander down the platform But I could not see a sign I looked at the clock And it was only :59
Just you and me together That's the way it's gonna to be I'm standing here waiting for you On platform 23

I love how this song describes the nervous feeling before meeting someone you like, maybe for the first time... you heart really does beat fast and the clock ticks slowly :)
btw thanks for the correction, simon. the artist himself also wrote the correct lyrics for me in his last.fm shoutbox and yours are the same, except one word (try to find it)... and I guess he's the one who's right :D
Simon got it wrong:
"I look for inperfections I've looked everything I saw"
Fail.
Good song by a great artist though.
