Penny teacher
I’ve been meaning to say — You said we’d tell her. And I’ve been meaning to say that too. I’ve been meaning to say — What if we don’t? And I’ve been meaning to say that too.
Algy designer
I’ve been meaning to say — I’ll find the number. And I’ve been meaning to say that too. I’ve been meaning to say — Let’s walk past the park. And I’ve been meaning to say that too.
