For the First Time Songtext
von Caroline Jones

Pictures on the wall, girl
Strangers in the hall, girl
Glitter on your eyes

Take the time to notice
You don′t want to miss this
Thinking 'bout goodbye

I′m sure he feels the same way:
Like he put all his faith just to be forgot

But it's too late to dwell on
That from which you've moved on
What you can change & what you cannot

When those lights are turned out
It′s almost like he′s here, now
Except the room smells like perfume

& You'll remember sweat &
Locker rooms & Fridays
Touchdown on harvest moon


Remember how you snuck out after the sun went down?
Remember how you cried?

When no one was watching
You denied it later
Everybody knows you lied

& Remember
How you fell in love
For the first time?

I wouldn′t want to be you, girl
Living in the "real world" with quotes around the phrase
& Though I'm not lonely
Sometimes I amuse myself by musing on your brain

So tell me about your roommate; tell me about your first date
Without Mom & Dad
It was probably disappointing, convincingly romantic
The first of many confirmations nothing lasts

& How comforting to finally learn
No one′s there to pick up your trash
