Three… two… one… "Don’t say it yet" "Think the same word" "No hints..." Only a table splitting us three But that doesn’t mean I don’t know you No, no, no (I totally got you) It’s just reading thoughts… kinda Pick a theme, anything random Sport, number, trend, hobby Single word, same time It’s not that hard, right? …right? I look at you like I’m psychic You look back trying not to laugh Countdown again, fingers ready I’m confident for no reason You nod like we’re synced already Third friend already confused Three… two… one… We miss instantly I said “wolf” You said “bear” He said “dog” We all stare Okay okay, animals again We can fix this disaster I try to follow your logic You try to follow mine Now we’re both overthinking Which ruins everything again You go small, I go generic He goes completely different You whisper “this time we got it” I believe you for some reason Three… two… one… I say “fish” You say “bunny” He says “panda” I get mad for like two seconds Then start laughing again Because none of this makes sense And we’re somehow worse now We try to sync our broken brains Pretend there’s patterns in the chaos One word floating in the air Nobody lands on it I'm gonna read your mind (oh, don't be shy) And then I'll think of what you think I'll read your thoughts, and not just skim So… stay in line, don't blink I'm gonna read your mind (you just comply) The word is there, so be prepared We say it once, same time, aligned We trust our telepathy We switch to countries, easiest round “No obvious ones”, we all agree You avoid the same pick I avoid the same pick too We both dodge the same answer Thinking we’re being clever Three… two… one… We both say the same other country We celebrate too early Then he says “The Americas” We freeze We stare We laugh too hard He defends it like it counts Food round now, we’re confident I think sweet, you think salty He thinks local, totally faulty You say noodles, I say fries He names something ultra regional Calls me dumb for missing obvious I argue I live far away He says “still obvious anyway” We restart, tension rising Trying patterns, analyzing You follow him, I follow you Nobody knows what to do Three two one again we fail Telepathy completely derailed We try to sync our broken brains Pretend there’s patterns in the chaos One word floating in the air Nobody lands on it I'm gonna read your mind (oh, don't be shy) And then I'll think of what you think I'll read your thoughts, and not just skim So… stay in line, don't blink I'm gonna read your mind (you just comply) The word is there, so be prepared We say it once, same time, aligned We trust our telepathy Three… two… one… we pause Nobody wants to say it wrong We all laugh before speaking We already know it's gone I'm gonna read your mind, I swear this time No more guessing blind (same word waiting) Same word waiting in between Hidden but defined I'm gonna read your mind, just hold the line Don't switch last second please Three… two… one… We finally match We scream telepathy!
