Story Behind The Song
Having just moved to Tennessee, I was looking at the darker side of things. What if all of the uprooting is for nothing? What if nothing changes even though we have made "The Move"?
Song Description
Change is one of life's constants. We change clothes, we change jobs, we change locations - yet we can never be certain that "The Move" we are making is the right one.

Lyrics
THE MOVE
Our eyes met across the room.
Juliet?s long lost bridegroom,
Romeo?s up from the tomb.
Each one chose what to assume.
One red rose began to bloom.
One red rose began to bloom.
You were waiting for me;
I was waiting for you.
You were waiting for me;
I was waiting for you.
You were waiting for me;
I was waiting for you
To make the move,
To make the move,
To make the move,
To make the move.
Stuck in that old one-horse town,
Three-room flat, bar two doors down.
We did our best not to drown,
Clinging to our thorny crowns.
That?s when doubt first came around.
That?s when doubt first came around.
You were waiting for me;
I was waiting for you.
You were waiting for me;
I was waiting for you.
You were waiting for me;
I was waiting for you
To make the move,
To make the move,
To make the move,
To make the move.
Our new home in Tennessee,
Brand new opportunity,
Welcome change of scenery,
A fresh start for you and me;
Grew stale and stalled so quickly.
Grew stale and stalled so quickly.
Now, you?re waiting for me,
And I?m waiting for you.
Now, you?re waiting for me,
And I?m waiting for you.
Now, you?re waiting for me,
And I?m waiting for you
To make the move,
To make the move,
To make the move,
To make the move.
