DON’T GET ME WRONG                                 © 2002 Acoustic Ross

I’m not renowned for my optimism
more for skepticism, criticism
I know I’m the boy 
who sarcastically cried ‘wolf’ through a smirk
I’m not turning over new leaves 
but something’s happened to me
And lately I find myself actually smiling at work

It’s a movie I wanted to make 
about hope, love and faith
And I still hope someday I get that chance
It’s a cycle I wanted to break
it’s a class that I still want to take
It’s potential – a step that might turn into a dance
(Or I might slip, and fall on my ass – too soon to tell)

    Don’t get me wrong
    this ain’t a love song
    it’s just a hope song

I never really learned to play piano
It’s only by default I play guitar
Never dated much, I don’t mind being by myself
My biological clock keeps blinking 12:00 12:00 12:00 12:00

Now I don’t want to jinx this, don’t want to move too fast
No I don’t want to screw things up again
So I’ll just say I had a nice time, maybe I’ll call you this weekend
When all I can think is “when can you move in?”
(take it easy... play it cool... or at least learn to fake it pretty well)

    Don’t get me wrong
    this ain’t a love song
    it’s just a hope song

Now I don’t know if this tale has a happy ending
Right now I don’t care how it ends at all
Cause frankly I’m enjoying this happy beginning
Hell, I might even wait five minutes to return your call
(if I can even wait five seconds – which isn’t very likely)

    Don’t get me wrong
    this ain’t a love song
    it’s just a hope song

It’s a battle I’m ready to fight
It’s a torch I’m ready to light
It’s a love song I’m almost ready to write

    Don’t get me wrong
    this ain’t a love song
    it’s just a hope song
    and I hope you like it.
