Once I was afraid that I'd find you

Your patient trembling eyes would unwind me

And all I've become

Once I was afraid I'd fall in love with you

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

Let's go set fire to all these houses

The smoke will billow up with our laughter

The flames will lick your skin

And I'll fall in love with you

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time

Shout into the ocean

Show your teeth

Plan it all the wanderings of the sea

These feet are shining plainly

Through your tears

Staying every night

Or so it seems

With those who always break

At all your seams

Come back into the water

Holding tight

Once I was afraid that I'd find you

Your patient trembling eyes would unwind me

And all I've become

Once I was afraid I'd fall in love with you

For the first time

For the first time

For the first time
