First Time

I'm ready to embrace this

I'm ready for repair

I've got so many layers

Left by amateur painters

who covered over

what was there

I stuffed myself sick on your memory

And the beautiful mess we'd made

But I'm so tired of being inspired

Only when things slip away

They told me time would strip it all free

And leave me bone dry

They told me time would strip it all free

But I'm no better than

When I left here the first time

I'm ready to erase this

I'm ready to begin

Spent myself trying to change

All of the beauty we'd made

just to want it all back again

And with the clouds moving in

this hardly looks like the same moon

And with the leaves all gone

The trees that once stood strong

now look pinched and cruel

They told me time would strip it all free

And leave me bone dry

They told me time would strip it all free

But I'm no better than

When I left here the first time

Well I'm no better than when I left here the first

First time

First tiiiimeeee

They told me time would strip it all free

And leave me bone dry

They told me time would strip it all free

But I'm no better than

When I left here the first time

Well I'm no better than when i left here the first time

Well I'm no better than when I left here the first

Time

Time

Time
