First Time Songtext
von Matt Nathanson

I′m ready to embrace this I am
I'm ready for repair
I′ve got so many layers
Left by amateur painters who covered over what was there

I stuffed myself sick on your memory
A beautiful mess that we made
But I'm so tired of being inspired only when things slip away

They told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry
They told me time would strip it all free
But I'm no better then when I left here the first time

I′m ready to erase this I am
I′m ready to begin
Spent myself trying to change all of the beauty we made
Just to want it all back again


And with clouds moving in
Well this hardly looks like the same moon
And with the leaves all gone the trees that once stood strong
Now look pinched and cruel

They told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry
They told me time would strip it all free
But I'm no better then when I left here the first time
But I′m no better then when I left here the first
First time
First time

They told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry
They told me time would strip it all free
But I'm no better then when I left here the first time
Well I′m no better then when I left here the first time
Well I'm no better then when I left here the first time
Time, time, time
