Thursday's Plans

[Verse 1] By nine, Fiona's home Fort Lee apartment glow At her desk, she checks the grid Every number, line by line Backlog stacked in neat rows Texting friends between the lines Keeping every system tuned Making sure it's all within [Pre-Chorus] Then Diana says, "By Wednesday I'm landing in the City" Air Jaguar from London City Straight to Teterboro [Chorus] Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans She maps it out again Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans One text, and then she grins Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans All paths start bending in Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans She knows where everyone is [Verse 2] First thought hits her fast She just flew City to Liberty If she'd known that route was there She could've saved a stop in Dublin And a stack of money too Then she asks, "So tell me this Thomas and Gabi in New York?" Not Bogotá like she had guessed [Pre-Chorus] Diana says, "They're here But Thomas leaves on Wednesday São Paulo called him south So that part's changing quick" [Chorus] Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans She maps it out again Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans One text, and then she grins Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans All paths start bending in Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans She knows where everyone is [Bridge] She does the math in silence No need to bother Thomas Gabi fits the window better If the timing holds, she's in But then Diana can't say Where Gabi's headed next Mariain should know that part So Fiona changes course [Verse 3] She texts Claire instead Claire's over in Jersey "Come home," she writes, plain and warm An open door, an easy plan Nothing fancy, just a seat Maybe late, but not too late By the time the night comes in She'll have made the map again [Chorus] Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans She maps it out again Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans One text, and then she grins Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans All paths start bending in Thursday's Plans, Thursday's Plans She knows where everyone is [Outro] Fort Lee lights, the desk lamp hums Thursday's Plans are set in motion One more text and one more turn And the whole week starts to open
