There was a day I played outside for the last time

Hugged my pre-school friends without saying goodbye

Left that world of castles and magic all behind

And I didn't know it

There was a last time dad got home and kissed mom on the cheek

One last summer vacation and dinner as a family

And that twenty-third year would be the last anniversary

And I didn't know then

I would one day wonder where it all went

All those little moments that made me who I am

The ones that felt like normal, the ones I can't forget

I was in it for a minute, thinking that would never leave

But there's a first time and a last time for everything

There was a last time that I ever felt young love

Before I learned that guys only want you if you give it up

And there was that last-first heartbreak from the boy I swore was the one

And I didn't know then

It was one of those moments

All those little moments that made me who I am

The ones that felt like normal, the ones I can't forget

I was in it for a minute, thinking that would never leave

But there's a first time and a last time for everything

And I want to go back to pirate ships we made in the backyard hammock

Back to the faith that I had in love before my dad left

Back to the nights that we spent in a car, going nowhere with my friends

Those moments were golden

All those little moments that made me who I am

Little did I know that, they'd all come to an end

I was in it for a minute, now they've all left me

But there's a first time and a last time for everything
