Big Silly Heart

My first date was at the big screen
With Ashley when we were 13
Her mother drove us after school

The ticket man found our seats
And we sat in silence awkwardly
And never spoke of it again

My big silly heart keeps falling in love
Walking around with my eyes wide shut
Cause ever since I can recall
My big silly hearts had a mind of its own

Later that year Lucy Jones
Took me down to the locker rooms
And we made out for about a minute

The news spread fast around the school
We denied it all the best we could
But I had to wash those girl germs off

My big silly heart keeps falling in love
Walking around with my eyes wide shut
Cause ever since I can recall
My big silly hearts had a mind of its own

Then I met Claire at a high-school rave
She gave me beer and MDMA
And all I did was talk about Led Zeppelin

I gave it a week and left her a call
But she told me that shed moved to Gibraltar
A classic rock pun I guess

My big silly heart keeps falling in love
Walking around with my eyes wide shut
Cause ever since I was a boy
My big silly hearts had a mind of its own

Then we got married in a thunderstorm
You were 22 and I was 21
Talk about omens all you want
Your sister found your flowers
And my father fixed my tie
And we danced until the morning light

My big silly heart keeps falling in love
Walking around with my eyes wide shut
Cause ever since I can recall
My big silly hearts had a mind of its own
