23:30 from Fractured Disposition by Jaya

LYRICS
23:30
I didn’t question you joining me for drinks
That’s the way the world works when you live like we live
Find a moment, make it count, quick-smart
You were like that right from the start

Catching beers, sharing thoughts
Running for the last train home
1 - I don’t remember when the feelings started to grow but
2 - I can’t tell you when the feelings started to grow but

Oh, did I read this wrong
Oh, he said, ‘I don’t know what I want’
And I thought
Oh, won’t you say what you mean…

I didn’t think it but then you drove through the snow
Just for a quick visit before you’d have to go
I wouldn’t have thought it
But then you insisted on that seat
Not the one across the table but the one right next to me
Followed me downstairs just to be there too
Said there never seemed to be enough time for us to be together
For me to be with you

Cos I thought I knew what we were about
When the words fell out of my mouth
I couldn’t breathe, you won my heart
The truth was a light straight out of the dark
I’m sure you didn’t mean it
But then you meant every last thing
I couldn’t breathe when you won my heart
And pushed it back into my open arms
And I thought, who do you think you are?
Who do you think you are?

Oh, did I read this wrong
Oh, he said, ‘I don’t know what I want’
And I thought
Oh, won’t you say what you mean…
What you mean to say
Is you don’t want me
