Thirty Seconds Flat

Verse 1

Roll my eyes across the room

They touched down and disappeared

I'm explaining every flight and hotel

Nobody asked and nobody hears

Pre-Chorus

Corner of the room goes quiet

Fingers hover on a switch

One tick of the clock

One click and then

Chorus

Play it back play it back

Ten years old and belting loud

Play it back play it back

Everybody turns around

She's fire-engine red

He's laughing in his chair

Play it back play it back

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Verse 2

Jenny's eyes go wide and bright

Swaying like she knows the song

I lean in through my teeth and say

You're so lucky she's along

No comeback left inside my mouth

Just a finger quick and low

Rebecca tells her he's a good friend

Smiling like she doesn't know

Pre-Chorus

Wait till Anna hears

I've got plans of my own

That lip-sync tape from nine years old

I'm bringing it home

Chorus

Play it back play it back

Ten years old and belting loud

Play it back play it back

Everybody turns around

She's fire-engine red

He's laughing in his chair

Play it back play it back

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh

Bridge

Thirty seconds flat

Thirty seconds flat

How do you do that

How do you do that

Show me how it works

Show me how it works

I'll show you something worse

Chorus

Play it back play it back

Ten years old and belting loud

Play it back play it back

Everybody turns around

She's fire-engine red

He's laughing in his chair

Play it back play it back

Post-Chorus

Oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh oh
