First to Love

If I were the first to love

You'd be the first to be loved

Wait as the roots find their way

They'll grow deeper with each passing day

Look as the clouds pass overhead

I will count them till the daylight ends

It will take more than one try

We will wait for a brighter sky

Peel away, keeping me up through the night

I'll be okay, be whatever you like

Fall away, I’ll stay with you by your side

Escape, be whatever you like

There is a way that you move

Through the spaces in front of you

Filling the room with light

I can watch you with unflinching eyes

Peel away, keeping me up through the night

I'll be okay, be whatever you like

Fall away, I’ll stay with you by your side

Escape, be whatever you like

Peel away, keeping me up through the night

I'll be okay, be whatever you like

I'd be first to love

You'd be the first to be loved

It takes one more try

With each passing night

Each passing day

Each passing night
