First Love

歌詞

I remember how we met but your name I forget like the door that I have kept unopened I remember it was wet and the swelter and the sweat and the shelter of the bed we were cloaked in You were stroking me like a pet but you didn't own me yet and the tape in the cassette deck was choking Spat out a broken hallelujah But I've seen the way the earth throws its aces with a curve You were waiting for the words to come to yer Just to say that you prefer to be lonely to be cursed and to do the very worst you can do Yeah I remember you like a verse that I didn't want to learn I just looked into your eyes and I knew yer Now the thought of you is burnt on my body from the first time you did rewind that line from Hallelujah The original Leonard Cohen version Well I wish I never met you that day You said I have a room and music to play I have a room let me show you the way I wish that I'd never come But now that I have I would do it again I would forget like I'd piss on a grave I would forget like I'd piss on a grave that the words as they came to my tongue were hallelujah Hallelujah And the sky was so much bluer Hallelujah Hallelujah And the world was so much newer You said I have a room at the top of the stairs I have a room with a view I know we all have a cross that we bear and I'd like to show it to you And you left me in the light and you met me in the light and we only had a night between the two You were waiting for the worst You were listening for a curse but the only thing I heard was hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah And the sky was so much bluer Hallelujah Hallelujah And the world was so much newer you said I have a room at the top of the stairs I have a room with a view I know we all have a cross that we bear and I'd like to give it to you And I won't forget how the sky was set I said I have a place to go back to La La La I will have you yet I will carry you there if I have to No I won't forget no I won't No I won't forget no I won't No I won't forget no I won't No I won't forget no Woah Woah Woah First love
