Letra First Time - OverTime

First Time

I open moments like a gift in a holidays
Mentally takin' pictures of all my memories
People tell me I'm an inspiration to 'em
But I never take 'em serious, confused at what I'm doin'
It ain't always what it seems in the fast life
Slammin' on the pedal when you're starin' at the gaslight
What you are and what it is ain't always matched up
They try to tell you but you're mashed up

I can't breathe, no
There's too much goin' on inside my head
This is me, oh
I finally understand just what you said
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, for the first time

I try to play it back, instant replay
I finally understand just what she say
I can change the world if I get out of my way
My own worst enemy, lookin' at it sideways
If I only knew, what I know know
I coulda been wetter but better on my own now
Lessons that we learn
Ignore them in the moment when we shoula let 'em burn

I can't breathe, no
There's too much goin' on inside my head
This is me, oh
I finally understand just what you said
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, for the first time

I lay in bed lookin' at the television
Flippin' through the channels
Contemplating what the world is missin'
And I'm, at a loss for words
And then dawned on me
We ain't ever lookin' at the positive
Only adding fuel to the problems that we're livin' with
And I'm, try to break the chain
For the first time

For the first time, for the first time
For the first time
Time, time, time, time
