for the first time

(album: Modern Happiness - 2018)

not like the movies or tv shows
not like the love songs everyone knows
not like the rumors, not like the ghosts
not like the pictures that they all post

baby
in a world of lies
i'm gonna give you real love
for the first time

not like the diets, not like the polls
not like the comments left by the trolls
not like a vampire, not like the blob
not like your cousin's brand new nose job

baby
in a world of lies
i'm gonna give you real love
for the first time

for the first time, you will know what you're missing
for the first time, you won't care where you've been
for the first time, you will see what the real thing is with me
and you'll never go back there again

not like darth vader, not like king kong
not bernie madoff or lance armstrong
not like doritos or taco bell
not like in heaven or down in hell
not like don draper, not mr. spock
not like elvis on vacation with tupac

baby
in a world of lies
i'm gonna give you real love
for the first time
