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
Your fear is 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
