Five Minutes

She covers her moves with a jeweller's precision
She watches his hands and he stares at her feet
She knows what's coming but tries to avoid it
If she keeps him interested she can keep him guessing
He moves with authority he likes the control
He smiles defiant she stutters excuses
He brushes his jacket and fingers his chin
She tries to avoid it but she knows what's coming

She wants five minutes it may be a lifetime
She moves towards him to break down the barriers
But it's full of hostilities and causes embarrassment
He avoids her eyes she avoids the obvious
If she can keep him interested she can keep him guessing

There's a panic a tension everything's irrelevant
She wants five minutes it may be a lifetime
She can feel it happening but she tries to avoid it
If she can keep him interested she can keep him coming
She wants five minutes it may be a lifetime
