You were all done up, but it wasn't for me
You were up at the front, tapping your feet
I was back at the bar; you had your eyes on the stage
You had an "x" on your hand to tell em' your age
I didn't put money on it, but I was hoping that you would be here
If I was something that you ever wanted, I'm all ears, I'm all ears
You made a wish at 11:11
I held your hips at 12:34
There was a kiss just waiting to happen
A cab was calling outside the door
oooooooooooooo
I knew you from the beginning
oooooooooooooo
It was you from the beginning
Excuses disguised all the ones before
I'd be convincing myself they could be something more
If you go home and get on the phone
And tell your girlfriends about me
I'll go home and sleep on my own
And dream of a girl named Lonnie
I couldn't hold a candle to you, but you were glowing in the dark
I was nervous just standing with you, you were glowing in the dark
You made a wish at 11:11
I held your hips at 12:34
There was a kiss just waiting to happen
A cab was calling outside the door
oooooooooooooo
I knew you from the beginning
oooooooooooooo
It was you from the beginning
And you weren't even trying
Your dirty blonde hair had me going while
You were a little bit shy then
There's no denying something so true.
You made a wish at 11:11
I held your hips at 12:34
There was a kiss just waiting to happen
A cab was calling outside the door
oooooooooooooo
I knew you from the beginning
oooooooooooooo
It was you from the beginning
