[Verse 1]

I knew you before

Took a lifetime to forget

But as my eyes meet yours

I take all I can get

They light up the shadows of my heart

Return stolen works of art

Yet, you can't discern this moment's grace.

[Hook]

But I still remember you

In that big, old, white suburban

And although you look right past me

With disregard

The first won't happen twice.

[Verse 2]

My gaze shifts to the ground

More alone than I was then

I have searched your eyes

But they don't comprehend

I crawl back into the shadows of my heart

And just sit there in the dark

Where you don't requite the love you still take.

[Hook]

But I still remember you

In that big, old, white suburban

And although you look right past me

With disregard

The first won't happen twice.

[Bridge]

And although I've since moved on

And I've been in love a few times

There's still a piece of me

That holds on to you

'cause the first won't happen twice

It won't happen twice

It won't happen twice.

I remember you

In that big, old, white suburban

And although you look right past me

With disregard

And although I've since moved on

And I've been in love a few times

There's still a piece of me

That can't let go of you

'cause the first won't happen twice.
