Track: The First Punch
Lyrics
This world is about to change
One, two
One, two, three, four
Look into my eyes
And look at the words you say
Blood on your tongue with a
I found a kiss on the dew and I said,
"This will be a night we won't forget"
Speak slow now, I don't want to miss when you cry
I saw her diamond blue eyes
And it's good enough to make me wanna fall in love
So now you'd better think close
And hear the sound of your voice
We're screaming, "why can't we just be friends?"
It's not that easy, but it's half of the fun
To see you throw the first punch now
Such a shame you had to go and run your mind
Love is what you make it, but at least I've got real friends
Know that I'm
F*** you that you're no longer yourself
And it's good enough to make me wanna fall in love
So now you'd better think close
And hear the sound of your voice
We're screaming, "why can't we just be friends?"
It's not that easy, but it's half of the fun
To see you throw the first punch now
I've got so much to give, but
I would kill just to feel less invisible
And you've got so much to learn about gravity
So live it up baby, don't look down
Live it up baby, don't look down
And it's good enough to make me wanna fall in love
So now you'd better think close
And hear the sound of your voice
We're screaming, "why can't we just be friends?"
It's not that easy, but it's half of the fun
I saw it coming when you throw the first punch
You threw the first punch
Now it's your turn to run
This is the part that will take my life
There's a future of
And never watch it die
