Count the Minutes
Style: Acoustic pop

[Verse 1]
Crisps stacked up beside the glass
Clock on the wall ticking past
Everyone keeps checking the door
Waiting for you to walk in at last

[Pre-chorus]
Someone's counting down the seconds
Someone's holding back the cheer
We've been saving this whole minute

[Chorus]
Khadija, the room lights up for you
Every voice here singing true
Not Amelia, not Nadia, not Sadia
Just the one we're waiting near

[Verse 2]
You always make the kettle wait
You laugh before the candles light
We'd hold this room a whole year longer
Just to watch you get it right

[Bridge]
Whatever hour brought you here
However late, we're glad you're near
This whole day was built around you

[Chorus]
Khadija, the room lights up for you
Every voice here singing true
Not Amelia, not Nadia, not Sadia
Just the one we're waiting near

[Outro]
Stack the crisps back by the glass
Let the clock keep time for you at last
