First Move from Caramel by Liesa Van der Aa
"The world is filled with lonely people, afraid of making the first move."
A gentle wave as an overture. To the fragile, yet sun-drenched piano notes of Niels Broos, a courageous song unfolds about longing and paralysis. Everyone is in their own cocoon, but deep down we all want the same thing: connection. "First Move" is simultaneously hopeful and wistful—an ode to those who dare, or at least dare to try.

Lyrics
just let us try this
and get trough this beautiful day
feel my hands
they just made plans with you
the light is calm, baby
pure, like the color of the sea
as long as we believe
this can never haunt you or me
can't you see how I return to you
with my hands held up high
relax, ooh – surrender to me
the world is filled with lonely people
afraid of making the first move
if all the things unsaid become lies
now tell me when will I see daylight in your eyes
all this blame has led me far away from what's to say
yes, I know you know
the world is filled with lonely people
afraid of making the first move
just let us try this
get trough this beautiful day
feel my hands
they just made plans with you
the light is calm baby
pure, like the color of the sea
as long as we believe
this could never haunt you or me
the world is filled with lonely people
afraid of making the first move
if once or twice is how much I died, I'm sorry
I guess I didn't try
all the shame
it's all the same
if once or twice is how much you tried, I'm sorry
I missed that sign
'cause I'm in this world of lonely people
afraid of making the first move
