lyrics
I turn a corner with a double take
It is you sitting there across the room
You grab the snap you drop and roll back
Shooting a straight spiral smile my way
Like a bullet from a gun
I caught it but couldn’t run
It felt like I stood there too long
I must’ve looked pretty dumb
Time stretched like a rubber band
My arm on its own
Waved you over to come
You didn’t even hesitate
In a moment it was make or break
I had no plans I had no where to escape
I didn’t even know what I wanted to say
I’ve rehearsed this same scene so many times
And this same scene always ended the same
With my arms around you
Some kind of current
Some kind of shock
You hook a finger through my belt loop
Pull me in a little
You’ll feel my slingshot
I've been listening to this record for over 30 years (!) It still holds up as one of the best pure pop records that you've probably never heard. A gem, to be sure. Tom Jessen
I'm including this just because it was the first thing I ever heard Dan make and I think it's necessary to start here. Quirky, honest, sometimes goofy and funny, but always heartfelt. Tom Jessen
