Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I cut both my knees the first time that I rode a bike
And I crashed my mom's car back when I was still learning to drive
I got my ass kicked the first time I got in a fight
And I passed out on Long Street the first night I gave beer a try
[PreChorus]
And love is no different
I did it wrong the first go around
[Chorus]
Now I’m standing in the kitchen, let it really sink in
We’ll never dance here again
Oh, keys are on the counter, wish I could have found her
A couple years later instead
I’m sorry that you had to be my first love
[Verse 2]
No, I won't roll my eyes when you bring up your ex in conversation
And I will try to keep cool when your dad misses your graduation
And I will show up and hold you when life’s got you down on the pavement
There’s a thousand more things that I would do different the next time around
[Chorus]
Now I’m standing in the kitchen, let it really sink in
We’ll never dance here again
Oh, keys are on the counter, wish I could have found her
A couple years later instead
I'm sorry that you had to be my first love, oh
[Bridge]
I’d go back to beginning
And rewrite our ending
And do what I didn’t know how
Oh, its clear from a distance
If I’d done it different
You’d probably be with me now
[Outro]
Standing in the kitchen, let it really sink in
We’ll never dance here again
Oh, keys are on the counter, wish I could have found her
A couple years later instead
Oh, I'm sorry that you had to be my first love
