So Much In Common Lyrics > How to Dance in Ohio

[Verse 1]
[Jessica]
Tommy, can we talk about dragons?
Don’t get me started on dragons
Oh wow, you too?
I like the ones that breathe fire
You also like fire?
Of course you do

I like things from other places, like vortices and cyberspaces
I dream that we go there and you and me dance oh-so-slow there!

[Pre-Chorus]
Tommy, we have so much in common
Tommy, don’t you agree?
Tommy, we have so much in common
Go to the dance with me?

[Verse 2]
[Drew]
Marideth
Your eyes -- no
Your hair -- no
Your ears -- I don’t know
You know what?
This is wrong, this is weird, going poorly as I feared --
Don’t g?t up, I’ll go

You don’t know what you do to me, like you rewir?d my circuitry
The moment you enter, I fall completely off my center

[Pre-Chorus]
[Jessica]
Tommy, we have so much in common
Tommy, don’t you agree?
Tommy, we have so much in common
Go to the dance with me?

[Drew]
Oh, Marideth, I’ve been waiting so long
Oh, Marideth, I hear a slow song

[Verse 3]
[Remy]
I feel nervous

[Tommy]
I’m quite shy

[Remy]
What will I wear to the dance?

[Tommy]
I want to curl up and die!
[Remy & Tommy]
I like to socialize, but don’t know how
How will I survive tomorrow if I’m this nervous now?

[Verse 4]
[Caroline]
Caroline and Jay
Jay and Caroline
J-a-y plus m-e for always
I’m certain that one day
We’ll be hanging up family pictures down our hallways

My love for you is absolute
Except one thing I don’t find cute:
I have reservations about your jealous accusations

[Pre-Chorus]
[Jessica]
Tommy, we have so much in common
Tommy, don’t you agree?
Tommy, we have so much in common
Go to the dance with me?

[Drew]
Oh, Marideth, I’ve been waiting so long
Oh, Marideth, I hear a slow song
[Caroline]
J-e-a-l-o-u-s-y, jealousy!
Jay, why are you so possessive of me?

[Chorus]
[All]
Maybe we all have this in common
Whatever kind of person you like
Certain that as soon you tell them, disaster will strike!

[Tommy]
Disaster will strike!

[Verse 5]
[Mel]
I feel ready. I’ll be there
I want to show off my moves

[Marideth]
I want to stay in this chair
And read about ancient geography

[All]
Plenty could go wrong tomorrow by simply being me

[Jessica & Drew]
Tomorrow night...

[Caroline & Tommy]
By being me...

[Remy, Mel, & Marideth]
Tomorrow night...

[Pre-Chorus]
[Jessica]
Tommy, can we talk about dragons?
Don’t get me started on dragons
Oh wow, you too?
I like the ones that breathe fire
You also like fire?
Of course you do

[Remy]
Maybe a bolo?
Or bowtie?

[Tommy]
I really hate collared shirts
I want to curl up and die

[Drew]
Marideth
Your eyes -- no
Your hair -- no
Your ears -- I don’t know
You know what?
This is wrong, this is weird, going poorly as I feared --
Don’t get up, I’ll go

[Mel]
By simply being me

[Marideth]
And read about ancient geography

[Caroline]
Caroline and Jay
Jay and Caroline
J-a-y plus m-e for always
I’m certain that one day
We’ll be hanging up family pictures down our hallways

[Chorus]
[All]
The formal is tomorrow night
And once I’ve done this classic rite
Who knows what awaits me?

[Jessica]
Like maybe after Tommy dates me!
Tommy, we have so much in common

[Drew]
Oh, Marideth

[Tommy]
I still wanna curl up and die

[Caroline]
J-a-y

[Remy]
No bow-tie!

[Drew]
Maybe this will end in disaster
But I’m gonna try!

[Marideth & Caroline]
Tomorrow night

[Tommy & Mel]
-- and try and try again

[Marideth, Caroline, & Drew]
Tomorrow night

[Tommy & Mel]
And try and try and try again

[Marideth, Caroline, & Drew]
Tomorrow night

[Jessica]
T-o-m-m-y!

[Tommy, Mel, & Remy]
And try and try and try

[All]
And try!
