Once I was afraid 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 smoke 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 seam
Come back into the water
Holding tight
Once I was afraid 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
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
The smoke will billow up with our laughter
The smoke 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
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 seam
Come back into the water
Holding tight
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
