30 Plan Lyrics

And it starts tonight because

Tonight's the night, but not just any night

It is movie night!

I would've made you dinner… but my toaster broke

So you put on a little sci-fi film

About the dangers of blah, blah, blah, whatever

I am barely watching, time is standing still

I'm about to change my life forever

I ask you if we can chat a minute

And you say sure when the movie's finished

So I fast-forward to the end and say

I think that we should be more than friends

You say look… you're great

Uh-oh, that's not a good start

You say you're not ready for that and

Don't wanna mess up what we have

But... I have an idea, you say

And you reach into your bag of things

That 20-year-olds think are good ideas

And you pull out this massive classic gem

If we're both still single at 30, will you marry me?

It's a pinky promise shifted one to the right

It's too soon for I do's, will you take an I might?

If we're both still single at 30

And I am not your first choice

But I'm a solid 30 plan

Hot damn safety net that I am

You gotta back up, love, so you know where I stand

I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance

I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance

So we cut to the scene

Where I build a machine, but not just any machine

It is a time machine!

I made it from my toaster, like that movie

Hot toast time machine

I load a bagel in the "future" slot

Set to ten and smack down on the lever

A decade passes in a single thought

I'm about to change my life forever

I find you and you're still single, I am obviously single

It's like a tale from a storybook

Until you say "how does forty look"?

But wait… I'm pretty sure you said, and I quote

If we're both still single at 30, will you marry me?

It's a time capsule, no it's a proposal

A little bit of neither, and a little bit of both so

Now we're both still single at 30, but apparently

What you really meant to say was

Ah come on! let's pick an arbitrary number!

Kick the can down the road before we tie it to the bumper

You never thought we'd be single at 30

But I am still not your first choice

But I'm a solid 40 plan

Hot damn safety net that I am

You gotta backup-love, so you know where I stand

I'll take a maybe, a shot, or a chance

Yeah, I'll take a maybe, a shot or a chance

There are no bagels in the future, I

Have got one left but two slots on my toaster

One'll take me forward, one'll take me back

One's another chance and one is closure

I load my bagel, I've made up my mind

Set to ten and smack down on the lever

A decade passes as I go through time

I'm about to change my life forever
