Story Behind The Song
I wrote this song when I was nervous about going on a first date with a girl I really liked. Now I guess I need to write a break up song about her.

Lyrics
Very first date: I hope I remember to
Hold the door for her, and be extra polite.
That would be nice, right?
Talk with her, flirt with her, tell her that she's pretty,
And buy her ice cream: Mint Chocolate Delight
Then say good night.
But what if she tries to hold onto my hand?
Will I remember? Will I understand?
God, I hope I get it right.
It's been a long, long, long time since I called someone mine.
I hope I don't forget how to give a kiss.
I don't quite remember what it feels like to surrender.
My heart just can't recall. Have I forgotten how to fall in love?
Call her up, pick her up, take her to the movies.
That's when I'll make my move: the old yawn-n-stretch.
Oh, no I'm just too petrified to try.
And besides, it's the first date you're not supposed to get some
The play has gotta wait.
Don't turn of the lights until the second night, right?
If I try to be cool and blow her a kiss
Will it land solid or will it just miss?
God, I hope I get it right.
Will you teach me how to fall in love?
