The First Time

[intro] [Verse] The first time is only one Of ten thousands But it crowds out the others Always reaching back Grasping at air With no time to spare… [Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know when I first realized That I can’t hold on We can’t freeze time Yeah! [Chorus] Between a rock and a hard place You wore a smile and white lace The first night in our place I remember, yeah And now that we’re older Deep cuts become bolder How I long to hold her just like I did the first time [instrumental break] [Verse 2] We drove to the park It was well past dark And I looked into your eyes Even through disguise Yeah, you know I knew None of it was out of the blue Pre-Chorus] And I don’t know when I first realized That I can’t hold on We can’t freeze time Yeah! [Chorus] Between a rock and a hard place You wore a smile and white lace The first night in our place I remember, yeah And now that we’re older Deep cuts become bolder How I long to hold her just like I did the first time [outro]
