Song Description

Torturous angst of not knowing how to get closer to a new lover, afraid that each attempt to do so may actually scare the lover away. Ain't love a bitch? (Of course, exactly the same dynamic applies to a van salesman talking to a family of five, but perhaps the less said of this ugly parallel, the better.)

ONE WRONG MOVE

VERSE 1
Many times, many times, I sit and wonder why
some people have seem to have it made
while others watch their dreams go under; and I. . .

Well, it seems that I have found you
Or at least I've made a start
But as much as I'm around you
I'm still not sure what's in your heart

I'm afraid that I'll make--

[CHORUS]

ONE WRONG MOVE
Oh, I tell myself, it's not a spell that's gonna break
with just ONE WRONG MOVE
But sometimes it feels like that's all it's gonna take
just ONE WRONG MOVE --
and the whole thing will come tumbling down. . .
like a house of cards
hit by a shooting star
while a blue guitar goes in search of the melody . . .
Can't find the key . . .

VERSE 2
Now and then, now and then, I feel I'm on my way,
Moving onto surer ground
And though that feeling soon is gone, I stay . . .

and I look into your dark eyes
and I swear I see a light
If you knew how hard my heart tries
maybe that will make things right . . .

. . or maybe that will be my

[ CHORUS]

ONE WRONG MOVE
Oh, I tell myself, it's not a spell that's gonna break
with just ONE WRONG MOVE
But sometimes it feels like that's all it's gonna take
just ONE WRONG MOVE --
and the whole thing will come tumbling down. . .
like a house of cards
hit by a shooting star
while a blue guitar goes in search of the melody . . .
Can't find the key . . .
