[Verse 1]
You clock in
I clock you
Same desk
Same weak coffee too
You laugh
I lose my place
Drop pens just to stay in your space (yeah)
HR forms and you hum tunes
Highlighters all over your notes and shoes
You bite your lip when you concentrate
Got me filling out feelings I can’t misplace (uh)
[Chorus]
It’s about time you asked
I’ve been waiting at your desk
Writing “maybe” in the margins
Every time you turn and jest
It’s about time you asked
Can’t you see I’m saying “yes”?
Every smile was a question
Every answer in my chest
[Verse 2]
Friday
Team chat
End of the day
You say “any plans?” I just halfway play
“I might grab a drink… or two… or three”
Hoping you hear “come sit with me” (come on)
You spin your chair
Let your hair fall
Say
“Where’s this place? You should text me the call”
My heart doing laps in this swivel seat
Guess my out-of-office starts with you and me (yeah, yeah)
[Chorus]
It’s about time you asked
I’ve been waiting at your desk
Writing “maybe” in the margins
Every time you turn and jest
It’s about time you asked
Can’t you see I’m saying “yes”?
Every smile was a question
Every answer in my chest
[Bridge]
All these spreadsheets
Tiny hints
Hidden like typos I never fix
You highlight my name in yellow ink
Guess we’ve both been on the brink (oh)
[Chorus]
It’s about time you asked
I’ve been waiting at your desk
Writing “maybe” in the margins
Every time you turn and jest
It’s about time you asked
Can’t you see I’m saying “yes”?
Every smile was a question
Every answer in my chest (yeah)
Every answer in my chest
