My First Date

I grew up in a house that only knew how to fight

So I would sit and write about meeting someone nice

So I wouldn't feel threatened one day about being kicked to the side

(Side, yuh, yuh, yuh)

 

And I was trying to find someone who would be bright

Who I wouldn't contrite if feelings went down the pipe

Like Mario, if things weren't looking peachy and clear like a void that's white

(White, yuh, yuh, yuh)

 

So wish me luck, I'm on my first date

My heart's begun to inflate

The arrow done hit me straight

I been a fish and done took the bait from others around too many times

(Times, yuh, yuh, yuh)

 

But this time I have faith

As I inch closer in eighths

Afraid that she would misplace me, cut me off like a lathe

But now her tender touch protects me from icy predators like a wraith

(Wraith, yuh, yuh, yuh)

 

We'll have others lookin' up to us cause our relationship's meant to set examples

Of who we're trying to be

And sure there's doubts, but if you're really bout' this relationship that you talk your parents up to

Then we will make it work

 

At times its scary, very unprecentary

To misplace foundation, like sedimentary

Livin' life like Larry can have your life fairly soft and spongy

(Spongy, yuh)

 

At times it might seem like you want to leave

The yarn comes undone like an unsteady weave

And we've begun to part ways like hairstyles now and cut loose ends

(loose ends)

 

Everything done stops but we begin to talk again

And assure our love was not staged like a prop

Afraid if we don't see both ways like a cyclops then we'll be done

(Done, done, done)

 

So I hope all goes well cause there's no possible other definitions I could connotate

Maybe that means you're the one

 

The one I ran into and chose not to withdrew

And later found out the feeling was mutual

Like a turtle, you no longer need to feel shelled when you're with me

No, no, no

 

It all started from my first date

And we're learning now how to set examples

Of who we're trying

Of who we're trying

Of who we're trying to be
