Talk to me now I'm older
Your friend told you 'cause I told her
Friday nights have been lonely
Change your plans and then phone me
We could go and get 40's
Fuck goin' to that party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go, you convinced me
12:51 is the time my voice
Found the words I sought
Is it this stage I want?
The world is shutting out... for us
We were tense for sure
But we was confident
Kiss me now that I'm older
I won't try to control you
Friday nights have been lonely
Take it slow but don't warn me
We can go and get 40's
Then we'd go to some party
Oh really, your folks are away now?
Alright, I'm coming
I'll be right there
