Lyrics

Verse
Shoelaces untied, Louisville slugger dragging behind, His helmet's 3 sizes overgrown
Not a single hit this year, now his hope's slidin' into fear,
Standing at the plate, wishing he was home
Pre-chorus
Pitch in flight, Eyes closed tight, Swingin with all his might,
Crack of wood, Sounds so good, Can't believe he heard
Chorus
First contact and his heart pounds And his feet can barely touch the ground
He reached beyond the walls that held him back
First contact and his heart flies And it's floating in the summer skies.
Though the memories will fade he'll always have
The feeling of first contact.
Verse
Seven summers fly past, he meets a girl in Freshman math,
And a friendship starts to grow.
Senior year, one summer night, riverwalk and the moonlight,
He finally knows he's gotta know...
Pre-chorus
Awkward glance, sweaty hands, is romance worth the chance?
Leanin in, breathin in, is this really happenin'?
Chorus
First contact and his heart pounds And his feet can barely touch the ground
He reached beyond the walls that held him back
First contact and his heart flies And it's floating in the summer skies.
Though the memories will fade he'll always have
The feeling of first contact.
Bridge
Pretty soon that moonlight girl becomes his wife
And when he's holding her, he feels the beat of brand new life
Til late one night there's a baby girl looking up at him
And 10 tiny wrinkled fingers
Are touchin' Daddy's hands...
Chorus
First contact and her heart pounds
And though her tiny feet can't even touch the ground
She's reached beyond the walls that held her back
First contact and her heart flies
And she's floatin' in her daddy's eyes.
Though the memories will fade she'll always have
Like a melody that stays she'll always have
The feeling of first contact.
