First Time Lyrics - Ernst - Matt Nathanson

I'm ready to embrace this I am 

I'm ready for repair 

I've got so many layers left by amateur painters who covered over what was there 

I stuffed myself sick on your memory 

a beautiful mess that we made 

but I'm so tired of being inspired only when things slip away' 

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry 

You told me time would strip it all free 

but I'm no better then when I left here the first time

I'm ready to erase this I am 

I'm ready to begin 

spent myself trying to change all of the beauty we made 

just to want it all back again 

And with clouds moving in 

well this hardly looks like the same moon 

and with the leaves all gone the trees that once stood strong 

now look pinched and cruel. 

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry 

You told me time would strip it all free 

but I'm no better then when I left here the first time 

but I'm no better then when I left here the first, 

first time 

first time'.

You told me time would strip it all free and leave me bone dry 

You told me time would strip it all free 

but I'm no better then when I left here the first time 

well I'm no better then when I left here the first time, 

well I'm no better then when I left here the first time, 

time, time, time.
