Breaking Records

before the music
started playing
i should have
asked if you
wanted to
join me
on

the dance floor
because before 
i could ask
some one
else asked
you the
same

question i had been
rehearsing even
the night before
and he was
wearing a
plaid look
ing like a

dinner table's
table cover 
and you
must of
said of
course
because

before
me you
two were
dancing
the carpet
off of the
dance floor

sometimes not having enough courage to ask is worse than not asking at all... made me think of a teens first crush and lacking the courage to ask a girl out... enjoyed
