The Thrill Of Thirty Seconds

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

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

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

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

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
