I met this girl at a party in College Station
Despite my disposition in my awkward situation
We held a conversation and you put your number in my hand
Now I wonder if I’ll see you again
The next week, me and Tyler take a trip to foundation
I met this beautiful woman, in the midst of music playing
And growing closer as we dance the night away
I wonder if next time we can hang
And then I met this girl in Brenham with a beautiful heart
And her smile is a work of God’s art
And I was kind of hoping that our path would be convergent
Every time I look into your eyes, I get nervous
So I walk a different way. It always happens like this
Paralyzed by fears that I’m not willing to admit
Like the fact I haven’t dated, my heart is gated
And how I look in the mirror and see a repulsive mutation
Tell myself to be brave, but I don’t listen
Want to connect with this girl, but we’re still distant
Partially because I’m petrified of showing interest
I’m never sure if it’s a mutual intention
In the end, I see the perfect girl walk away
Because I’m scared to talk to her in the first place
Communication. It could be the birth of relations
Or the death of a nation before it even starts
I’m trying to build a together that can’t be broken apart
That represents the bond with my future counterpart
So I can’t sit and wait for everything to fall in line
If I do, I’ll lose the perfect girl, every time
And every time I find myself contemplating at 3 AM
About every girl in my past that I should have been with
And I know this wouldn’t happen, if we grew my seed of courage
But it’s taking mine longer to flourish
I don’t get it. Truly I don’t get it
Would you love me like Dana if I was Terry McGinnis?
When I’m struggling, I can’t even follow my own decisions
Overcome all my fears, or see my demons diminished
But my health is replenished, when I see your face
And I still don’t have the courage to ask you on a date
And Lord knows I'd have to overdraft my dollar eight
But who cares? A grape slush and a moment of fate
I have a dearly beloved piano solo for you
So much more to say but this will do
Until I play upon these keys, in the presence of your beauty
Now that’s beyond yours truly, Terry McGinnis
