Paroles de First Love
First loves don’t leave you, the needles & pinsMy phantom limb likes to cry full of gin
She’s a molten mistake, lightning blue at the wake
She just hangs tight
And I meant what I said at the foothills
Won’t you walk me, talk with me, give me tonight
Ancient ruins bullied by sky scraper lights
Hungry & homeless I creep into the glow of it’s
Lonely, dying flame, I think I want to
Be the memory that you turn to
When you’re drunk & your empty ‘cause you’re mine
But at the same time I want to forget you
Take a gun to the mantle
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
I’ll climb all the trees and I’ll pray for a lightning strike
Tamed into numbness, it’s what I have become since
The person you recognize
First loves conditioned like poisonous fate
With optimism we just contradict
Was I just your mistake, cinnamon to the taste
Bitter but graceful
You know I meant what I said in the moment
First loves are lethal, dilute all you like
Reticent discontent laboured in stride
Hear the acid rain dripping down the water pipes to the ocean floor
And I meant what I said you’re an angel
You were sent to me, carefully right at the time
That I needed a petal to throw into the fire
Something pretty and impermanent that I could admire
Ancient ruins bullied by sky scraper lights
Hungry & homeless I creep into the glow of it’s
Lonely, dying flame, I think I want to
Be the memory that you turn to
When you’re drunk & your empty ‘cause you’re mine
But at the same time I want to forget you
Take a gun to the mantle
And spin myself into a storm of grey skies
I’ll climb all the trees and I’ll pray for a lightning strike
Tamed into numbness, it’s what I have become since
The person you recognize
First loves conditioned like poisonous fate
With optimism we just contradict
Was I just your mistake, cinnamon to the taste
Bitter but graceful
You know I meant what I said in the moment
First loves are lethal, dilute all you like
Reticent discontent laboured in stride
Hear the acid rain dripping down the water pipes to the ocean floor
And I meant what I said you’re an angel
You were sent to me, carefully right at the time
That I needed a petal to throw into the fire
Something pretty and impermanent that I could admire
