i saw you
outside
springtime
'99
can you still
see the crowd
everyone
gathered 'round
sky ignites
midnight
take your hand
take flight
can you still
feel the rush
hope no one
catches us
it was the first time
for either of us
give into the moment
i will not let this go
for the first time
for either of us
a torn white springtime dress
and grass stains on your knees
a thousand memories
2 AM
time flies
one last kiss
goodnight
whisper soft
something sweet
turn around
as you leave
i knew it
right then
couldn't sleep
risk the end
would you say
when you wake
yours to give
mine to take
it was the first time
for either of us
were we young and stupid
did we take on much too much
for the first time
for either of us
you told me something pretty
then fought off sleep's advances
then you were gone
racing minds don't mind it
and sleeping's for the dead
but what i wouldn't give
to have you here
next to me in bed
racing minds don't mind it
and jumping's for the brave
but what i wouldn't give
to hear you sing
to hear you sing my name
it was the first time
for either of us
it wasn't just the moment
i meant what i said
for the first time
for either of us
your smile was all i needed
and i knew that it was real
for the first time
for either of us
give into the moment
i will not let this go
for the first time
for either of us
you whispered something pretty
something to hold onto
a thousand memories
now you are gone
