These words are starting to burn a hole in my head
They are begging to leave
They are waiting impatiently to be said
While I wait anxiously for you to say them first
They wait at the door all dressed up, knowing that it’s only time now till they are said
The stage has been set
The mood has been set
All the opening acts have had their say
…and now it’s time for the main act
