Tegan & Sara - The First lyrics

rate me

stand up sit down baby

gonna be a formal dressdown hey day

we decide why not go downtown

how about you and me we go get wasted

you'll have, you'll have to excuse me

please please, please excuse me

you'll have, you'll have to excuse me

this will be my first time

by definition from grade school to english 30

we quietly become strong so early

take it or leave it they can't believe it

they go from kindergarden to killing sprees

they go from heartache to inner peace

100 foot ceilings 100 percent deceit

he said let's leave this between you and me

my cats watch my stuff leave my house

between you and me the cat burglars are

what did you see what did you steal

tell me baby how does it feel

yeah yeah feel

it's a top ten list of things that move me the most

it's a top ten list of things that bother me most

a top ten list of things that scare me the most

i'd have to say that the future

wasting time in the fast food line

i decide to walk the fine line

and celebrate life celebrate death i choose

to celebrate the first

I celebrate the first

we decide to go out walking

the whole time that we're talking

convinced that we're living

whole time that we're dying

we decide to go out walking

whole time that you're talking

convinced that you're living

whole time that i'm dying

keeps me on my toes where did the time go

you keep me on my toes where did the time go

on the edge of town where the gravel's thin

they're gonna wear you down

until you're thin and tired tired tired

of wasting time in the fast food line

i decide to walk the fine line and

celebrate life celebrate death i choose to celebrate

the first to come the first to go the first to say yes

the first to say no, I'm gonna seize this moment

the first to come the first to go the first to say yes

the first to say no
