First Love Back

(album: Turn Back Time - 2020)

You had nine weeks to sneak off on somebody's property
Neither of you could care less 'bout the trespassing sign
Something else on your mind
You played the CD you burned her that summer
And put it on repeat while you were just riding around
'Til she had to leave town

You don't get your first love back
One that you thought would last
When you're sixteen, young and naive
She leaves and nothing hurts like that
Memories come on strong
Sneak into certain songs
Stopping you in your tracks
Singing the words don't bring your first love back

You stay in touch through the best of September
You talk less and less, by the time it's November, you're gone
No more calls on your phone
When winter was over, you'd be on my mind
You didn't tell me, that house for sale sign said it best
Should've known when you left

You don't get your first love back
One that you thought would last
When you're sixteen, young and naive
She leaves and nothing hurts like that
Memories come on strong
Sneak into certain songs
Stopping you in your tracks
Singing the words don't bring your first love back

Live in the moment the moment the melody takes you back in
She's next to you in the passenger seat for awhile

You don't get your first love back
One that you thought would last
When you're sixteen, young and naive
She leaves and nothing hurts like that
Memories come on strong
Sneak into certain songs
Stopping you in your tracks
Singing the words don't bring your first love back
