First Love Lyrics


As summer was ending, you were walking in
It seemed my life was falling
But in this season we were friends
Six days into spring is where our story begins
You didn't rush a thing
But you knew you would winI never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in lineOne of the first times I didn't feel alone
Is when I was in your arms, you always made me feel at home
We watched the sunrise 'cause the night had slipped away
And from then until now, we've been through some different phases
But you love the winter, love the challenge
Always managed to think that we would make itI never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine

Meanwhile my first love was standing first in lineSo let me get used to things 'cause Gradual's my name
I don't dive into the cold, I get in slow but every day
I'm making peace with loving you, peace with being me
Any, any pieces of us, I claim them all todayI never thought you'd be the only one
I dreamt of fairy tales, that's how we begun
But I was waiting for some magical moment
That would prove to me, forever would be fine
Meanwhile my first love was standing first in lineStanding first in line
Standing, standing
