no second chance
lyrics & music by peter c marinari 2.28.1
there's a first time for every thing/
the first kiss and the true love it brings/
open lips and your heart will sing/
it takes over everything/
the first time that you hold hands/
electric sparks do their dance/
and you exchange a meaningful glance/
but you don't ever get a second chance//
no there's no second chance
at the first time/
and you can save that backwards glance
cause all you'll see is far behind you/ // /
like a man on the run/
you're hiding from her/
it's the first time you've been lost for words/
it's the first time they needed to be heard/
and you know how to stay the night/
but you never learned how to say goodbye/
a flash of lips and teeth and eyes/
but you don't have the right disguise//
no there's no second chance
at the first time/
and you can save that backwards glance
cause all you'll see is far behind you/ // /
it was the first time that you'd/
broken up with anyone/
you'd thought it'd come back together/
but you just said goodbye forever/
it's just like growing up/
you never see those years again/
you gave away all your first times/
you can't have back that first chance//
no there's no second chance
at the first time/
and you can save that backwards glance
cause all you'll see is far behind you/ // /
there's a first time for every thing/
all the wonder that it brings/
don't ever give it up/
unless you're sure enough.
