First Time

First Time Lyrics

I'm ready to embrace this I am
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
a beautiful mess that we made
but I'm so tired of being inspired only when things slip away…

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry
You told me time would strip it all free
but I'm no better then when I left here the first time

I'm ready to erase this I am
I'm ready to begin
spent myself trying to change all of the beauty we made
just to want it all back again

And with clouds moving in
well this hardly looks like the same moon
and with the leaves all gone the trees that once stood strong
now look pinched and cruel.

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry
You told me time would strip it all free
but I'm no better then when I left here the first time
but I'm no better then when I left here the first,
first time
first time….

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry
You told me time would strip it all free
but I'm no better then when I left here the first time
well I'm no better then when I left here the first time,
well I'm no better then when I left here the first time,
time, time, time.
