| I open moments like a gift in a holidays |
| Mentally takin' pictures of all my memories |
| People tell me I'm an inspiration to 'em |
| But I never take 'em serious, confused at what I'm doin' |
| It ain't always what it seems in the fast life |
| Slammin' on the pedal when you're starin' at the gaslight |
| What you are and what it is ain't always matched up |
| They try to tell you but you're mashed up |
|
| I can't breathe, no |
| There's too much goin' on inside my head |
| This is me, oh |
| I finally understand just what you said |
| For the first time, for the first time |
| For the first time, for the first time |
|
| I try to play it back, instant replay |
| I finally understand just what she say |
| I can change the world if I get out of my way |
| My own worst enemy, lookin' at it sideways |
| If I only knew, what I know know |
| I coulda been wetter but better on my own now |
| Lessons that we learn |
| Ignore them in the moment when we shoula let 'em burn |
|
| I can't breathe, no |
| There's too much goin' on inside my head |
| This is me, oh |
| I finally understand just what you said |
| For the first time, for the first time |
| For the first time, for the first time |
|
| I lay in bed lookin' at the television |
| Flippin' through the channels |
| Contemplating what the world is missin' |
| And I'm, at a loss for words |
| And then dawned on me |
| We ain't ever lookin' at the positive |
| Only adding fuel to the problems that we're livin' with |
| And I'm, try to break the chain |
| For the first time |
|
| For the first time, for the first time |
| For the first time |
| Time, time, time, time |
|
