Until it’s over, I’ll remain on tiptoes.
Until it’s over, I may whisper on the phone.
Until it’s over, my trenchcoat collar stays in place.
Until it’s over, my true face won’t be shown.

Once we get the guy, I can open up the gates.
Once we get the guy, it’s back to normal.
Once we get the guy, I can leave some things to fate.
Once we get the guy, I’ll give oral.

If the news is good, my mask goes off at last.
If the news is good, we will dance.
If the news is good, you’d be in my arms already,
for if the news was good, you’d have told me in advance.
