lyrics

It was in a living room on Little Sioux, I was probably in a diaper
Stumblin' toward my dad, I bet I fell flat on my face
I don't know how old I was, Lord knows I took my time
Came to this world early, so I figured it could wait

It was my first, it was my first
and sometimes I hope that when I'm old
it'll be the last, it'll be the last thing I forget

It was at a campsite by the river, I was with my good friend Laura
we were tryin' hard as currents to get our moms to turn their heads
All we wanted was a drink from those unmarked containers
so that beer we thought was water ended up spit on the river bed

It was my first, it was my first
and sometimes I hope that when I'm old
it'll be the last, it'll be the last thing I forget

It was in the entrance of a Gordman's and I swore that I'd been stolen
with the Salvation Army bell just ringin' like an alarm
he was silly and I was awkward, blushin' red just like my hair
but I'm sure that kiss was the reason I picked up the guitar

It was my first, it was my first
and sometimes I hope that when I'm old
it'll be the last, it'll be the last thing I forget

Oh and like a string around my finger
all these things wrap round my memory
Yeah this love, it swirls inside my head
I hold it in just like my breath
every time you leave

You're not my first, no you're not my first
but most days I hope that when I'm old
You'll be the last, you'll be the last,
oh be the last, please be the last thing I forget
