[Verse 1]
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 forties
Fuck going to that party
Oh, really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go, you convinced me
[Chorus]
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
Oh, we were tense for sure but we was confident
[Verse 2]
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'd go out and get forties
Then we'd go to some party
Oh, really, your folks are away now?
Alright I'm coming, I'll be right there
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 forties
Fuck going to that party
Oh, really, your folks are away now?
Alright, let's go, you convinced me
[Chorus]
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
Oh, we were tense for sure but we was confident
[Verse 2]
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'd go out and get forties
Then we'd go to some party
Oh, really, your folks are away now?
Alright I'm coming, I'll be right there
