First Times
The first time I ever took the park and ride
I didn’t know there were things I was supposed to hide
I let you down, you wanted mystery
The first time I ever saw those city lights
They were reflecting off your glasses
And the ring that you wore on your finger
I’ve never seen them shine so bright again since then
I’ve never seen anything shine so bright again since then
The first time I ever saw the moonlight
It turned your body white
And you glowed under the water
That was the first time, now I want a second chance
Maybe this time we could dance around on the docks
Before we jump into that water
Maybe this time it would be easier for us to touch each other
As we float around in that river
The first time I ever shared a bed with anyone
I didn’t know that I’d be sleeping here in it alone
I’m gonna see you shine
I’m gonna see you shining, I’m gonna watch as you go
I’m gonna see you shining
You’re the white dove with an olive branch
Now we’ve stopped the flood, now we’ll dance
The earth is mud where the fig tree stands
I’m sinking in so take my hand and pull me out
