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 on the wanderings of the sea These feet are 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
