First Time Joy Lyrics - Silver Age - Bob Mould

And we were children 

We were so afraid 

We built this dream 

We built this dream 

And when it woke you up at night 

You had to find the meaning 

So scared to watch it die 

You were taking it apart 

As soon as we looked through the dream 

And all the things that led us to it 

We have these needs, we have these needs 

We have these needs 

The things that brought us here 

Not knowing what we'd find 

We're heading towards the other side 

And all the people left behind 

Talk it through and take good care 

No matter what, I will be there 

First time joy and last time pain 

I listen to this old refrain 

I wrap my heart in words you say 

But all we cherish will decay 

First time joy and last time pain 

Here we go again
