How to Dance in Ohio the Musical - Building Momentum Lyrics

Music by Jacob Yandura, Lyrics by Rebekah Greer Melocik.

I’ve been making good grades,
Good friends, good progress,
This year has been a personal best.
Except my love life was stalled
Like this concept in physics:
An object at rest stays at rest.

Then you suddenly gave me the chance
To find the guts to ask her to dance.
But the hardest part
Was to start

Building momentum,
The very beginning.
Building momentum,
The energy spinning.
Moving with purpose and picking up speed
Has taught me the one lesson I’ll ever need:
The first step to succeed
Is building momentum.

Let’s throw a new dance tomorrow.
Let’s use the center!
We can cater all our favorite food.
We’ll clear the chairs to the wall.
I bet mel would dj!
And I can bring smart lights to set the mood.

I’ll call everyone personally
Or get my mother to do it for me.
My mom’s hard to refuse.
We can’t lose.

Building momentum,
I have to keep moving.
Giving attention
To what needs improving.
Facing the fears that have kept me alone
Has filled me with confidence I’ve never known,
Like I discovered my backbone.
Building momentum.

You don’t know what she does to me,
Like she rewired my circuitry.
My operating system’s reeling,
And I can’t bear to lose this feeling!

Building momentum,
The very beginning.
Building momentum,
The energy spinning.
No way I’m throwing my best chance away,
If I have to throw a new dance every day.
It’s the only way how
To keep growing from now:
Building momentum!
Building momentum!
