First Time

(Album: Water - 2018)

It took a while to pick up the pieces
After we set each other free
The days, the weeks, the months go by
It keeps getting harder to breathe
Last night I went down to the water
Just like we used to do
I threw a few rocks there under the stars
I looked for answers in a bottle or two

What if I was supposed to be yours?
What if you were supposed to be mine?
What if our ship got blown off course?
What if we had it right the first time?

I wonder how far we have gotten
How much fire we have left
If we had not lost each other
On the road to restlessness
So many times I could have done different
Well that's easy after the fact
You think you're taking one step forward
Well you oughta take a couple steps back

What if I was supposed to be yours?
What if you were supposed to be mine?
What if our ship got blown off course?
Yeah what if we had it right the first time?

Does it ever keep you up at night?

What if I was supposed to be yours?
What if you were supposed to be mine?
What if our ship got blown off course?
Yeah what if we had it right the first time?

What if I was supposed to be yours?
What if you were supposed to be mine?
Yeah what if our ship got blown off course?
Yeah what if we had it right the first time?

(First time) Oh well what if we got it right?
(The first time) What if we had it right?
(The first time) Oh, no
(The first time) What if we had it right?
(The first time) Baby what if we had it right?
(The first time)
