Story Behind The Song
I wanted to write a song about Facebook/MySpace stalking to prepare for a first date, and that turned into a song about watching movies during those dates (the original plan was "every girl's favorite" "The Notebook" but instead I went with movies *I* like).
Song Description
A successful first date -- thanks to a little Facebook stalking -- turns into a blooming relationship full of great movies from the 1970s and 1980s and trips to the county fair.

Lyrics
I never dreamt this night would turn out so much fun
I made a million plans and you were cool with every single one
Taco Bell, good to go, went to a punk rock show
We spent an hour in Family Video
I'm glad I saw your profile
This one should make you smile
What if I sang to you softly while you laid in my arms?
Lassoed the moon and gave you all of the stars?
I'd rent "The Princess Bride," wipe your tears if you cried
I'd switch our cups and drink the poison to keep you alive
Now I'll prepare to die
Well, to my surprise, you called me Saturday
You said that you were bored, and so I said that I was on my way
We hopped into my car, went to the county fair
I knocked the bottles down and won that purple teddy bear
I'm trying so hard to impress
That was no lucky guess
What if I sang to you softly while you laid in my arms?
Lassoed the moon and gave you all of the stars?
I'd rent "Ghostbusters 2," you know I'd protect you
If Vigo came out of the painting and tried to overrule
I'd save New York for you
Ooh, girl, your'e on fire
Your love is lifting me higher
Did you just invite me in?
God, where do I begin?
What if I sang to you softly while you laid in my arms?
Lassoed the moon and gave you all of the stars?
I would rent "Black Belt Jones," sit through your angry groans
During the fight scene in the car wash, you'd just put on your headphones
What if I sang to you softly while you laid in my arms?
Lassoed the moon and gave you all of the stars?
I'd rent "The Princess Bride," wipe your tears if you cried
I'd switch our cups and drink the poison to keep you alive
Now I'll prepare to die
