waiting for you by Florence McCambridge

 

waiting for you 

 

 

It wasn’t supposed to be this way 

you weren’t supposed to be around 

but you sent me a text

your plans have changed 

 

Here’s the thing though

I just ordered a pizza 

and waiting for it to arrive 

is the best I’ve felt since I met you

 

So, maybe you shouldn’t come 

I thought you’d be happy, you said 

I am happy, I said, and I’m smiling 

watching the delivery guy pull up
