Caroline's Spine - Ready, Set, Go

Started out we were good friends,
ruled the neighborhood with no fear,
'cause she was just one of the boys there,
until the day she started lookin' at me weird.

She said 'I wanna kiss you',
then she threw me down to the grass.
but I was more scared then than confused,
she said if I told her dad she'd kick my ass.

And she grabbed me by the face, said,
'On your mark, get ready, set...'

We stayed close as the years flew by,
went on to different high schools.
I remember she snuck up to my room one night,
and asked me if I wanted to break some rules.

She said "I've dreamed of having you put me down,
burn my bridge right to the ground,
you will never mind what I ever said before,
I'm not just the girl next door no more."...

She put her hands upon my face
said, "on your mark, get ready, set, go"...
this will be our little special place
let's go find out what you know...

Some things in your life you say
other things you say you won't...

The very next morning I awoke with a chill
she had lefta flower on my window sill
and as I viewed her footsteps from the night before
I realized I wasn't a boy no more...

I zoned out on her face
on your mark, get ready, set, go...
this was our little special place
and I found out what I now know...
