First Things First Lyrics - Pop Psychology - Neon Trees

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

It began when I was twenty-one years old 

And my mom and dad were begging me to go 

So I left a note and we went and hit the road 

Me and Chris and all the stuff I own 

I went out to find my soul and left the only comfort that I'd known 

It wasn't 'bout a girl or even California bleeding 

It was all about me choosing where to go 

And I sing 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

There were years I felt like everything was new 

Long before the troubles of my youth 

There were days and nights I couldn't see the end 

And I swear the music was my only friend 

You learn to lie about forgiveness 

When you choose to let down all your pride 

I don't wanna be so famous 

I just want to sing until I die 

So sing it 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

When I wish upon a star 

I'll tell it how I got this far 

It began when I learn how to face myself 

And I'm still deciding if I'm something else 

I'm a million different people all the time 

But there's only one of me to get it right 

I'm gonna get right 

Oh oh, I'm gonna get it right, I'm gonna get it right 

Oh oh oh 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve 

You are never gonna get 

Everything you want in this world 

First things first 

Get what you deserve
