First Time

I'm ready to embrace this,

I'm ready for repair

I've got so many layers left by amateur painters who coveredover what was there

I stuffed myself sick on your memory and the beautiful messwe'd 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 bonedry

They told me time would strip it all free but

I'm no better thanwhen

I left here the first time

I'm ready to erase this,

I'm ready to begin

Spent myself trying to change all the beauty we d made justto want it all back again

And with the clouds moving in, this hardly looks like the samemoon

And with the leaves all gone the trees that once stood strongnow look pinched and cruel
