"First Time" lyrics

"First Time"

Broke into the screened-in porch
Now I'm crawling through the dog door
I may let you see me on my knees
But you never see me on all fours

Drooling on the tile
I'm a starfish on the kitchen floor
Catch my breath to breathe your name
I'm just the fool you took me for

You can feel it for the first time, the second time
You can feel it for the first time, the second time

You gave me your hands 'cause you
Didn't know what to with them
And I showed you the way
Even though I'd never been

Where did we go right?
I think about it all the time
If I had paid closer attention
Maybe I could take us back to there and then

You can feel it for the first time, the second time
You can feel it for the first time, the second time
I can't go back to who I was before I met you
I can't undo with I've done, I wouldn't want to
I wouldn't want to, I wouldn't want to

Sneaking out of the house
I must be out of my mind
I'm running out of excuses
We're running out of time

You say the love will come and go
We'll learn to rude the ebb and flow
You always leave before the light
Come back, same time and place the next night

And how will I know if history repeats itself
How will I know when it's gonna come back around?
How will I know? Has my face changed, baby?
How will I know? I'll stay ready for you to take me
Take me, take me
Take me
