"First Time" lyrics

"First Time"

Last time
Your memories are too kind

Behind every closed door lies another room
Waiting there for you
Should I open the Pandora's box
Like she wanted me to?

Outside the time and space we share
E always equals MC squared
Don't you know?

Nothing ever tasted quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time
Nothing ever felt quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Building castles on quicksand
Wearing in all the Emporer's new clothes
Reaching out through the looking glass
Where am I?
On the yellow brick road

Always ending where I begin
I don't look deep
The original sin
Don't you know?

Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time
Nothing ever felt quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Law of diminishing returns
Will I live long enough to learn?
Don't you know?

I don't think you know
I don't think you know

I know I know what I said
I know I know what I said the first time
Yes, the first time
I hope to God this won't be
I hope to God this ain't the last time

It feels like the first

Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time
Nothing ever feels quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Nothing tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good

Nothing tastes like it should
Don't you know?

Nothing ever cuts quite as deep
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time
Nothing ever hurts quite as much
As the touch
Left by the last time

The first time
The first time
I want the last time to be like
Like the first time
Don't you know?

Nothing tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good
That good
