Don't Think You're the First

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe

To follow your heart or gaze at the stars

To stare at the night through the clear daylight

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe

To feel sorrow or shame as you walk in the rain

Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldn't tell you

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe

To be caught in the act, numbered and racked

Put in your place, made to feel like a fake

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe

To be untouched by the tide, think your one of a kind

Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldn't tell you

Don't think you're the first,

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe

To dance with the light, from the meat to the might

As the birds in the trees sing their sweet melodies

Don't think you're the first, in the whole universe

To hear a thousand violins as the trial begins

Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldn't tell you

Don't think you're the last, to be tied to the mast

While you watch from afar as your world falls apart

You hang on for help as the rest help themselves

Don't think you're the last, to be tied to the past

While your future's controlled by the presence untold

Do I love you? Yes I love you, what I wouldn't tell you

Don't think you're the first
