"The First Five Times" lyrics

"The First Five Times"

The first time, in your backyard
Underneath the plastic sheeting
Outside, it was pouring
And we were drunk as shit

Next time, at a party
When all our friends were there
There is nothing like bare mattresses
Underneath the stairs

The third time, in the doorway
With the lights all on around us
And the audience beside us
And your man watching from the trees

Fourth time, I said, "That's that
You've agreed to give me everything
Now I've got to ask you one more thing
Keep doing that forever."

Fifth time in your bedroom
And finally, we rested
And you leaned upon your elbow
And began to speak to me

But you stopped yourself and kissed me
And I grabbed your wrist and told you
"I know, I know, I know
I feel the same as you."

And everyday, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then
And everyday, it's changed since then
In every way, I've changed since then

Driven outside
I've driven you
Driven outside
I've driven you
I've driven you
Driven you
