It’s the sound the clock makes 
When it cracks through the cardboard 
It’s the way your heels click 
When you walk up the stairs to my door 
I put The Grifters on 
Just before you come 
I bought the wine you like 
California red, pinot blend 
I’m wearing my best shirt and jeans 
I smell like a million bucks

I’ve been working at the grocery store, baby

Moved into your parent’s place in the city 
You got a job with your dad’s senator friend

Moved into New York at the turn of the century 
I left home with a thousand bucks I made landscaping every 
But I wanna turn you on 
I really wanna turn you on 
It’s a long shot 
But I’m ready 
Alright
