Lyrics
You're lit up like a cigarette
Shimmering like broken glass
Trying so hard to forget
Memories real as photographs
You're talking like you understand
Laughing cause you never could
Things didn't go the way you planned
Your heart broke more than one heart should
If I can't be the first to love you
I wanna be the last
So take these arms around you
Let these hands hold you fast
Love has been like fireworks
Shooting up off of the ground
Colorful and strong at first
Burning as it all comes down
So now you feel like giving up
And time it feels unbearable
Even though you're all messed up
Just let your heart get comfortable
Cause if I can't be the first to love you I wanna be the last So take these arms around you Let these hands hold you fast If can't be the first to love you I wanna be the last When life falls down around you Let these hands hold you fast
Driving on a Friday night
Anything seems possible
Your smile bathed in city lights
Never looked so beautiful
I know I can't be the first to love you
But I wanna be the last
So take these arms around you
Let these hands hold you fast
If can't be the first to love you
I wanna be the last
When life falls down around you
Let these hands hold you fast
