B             A#m              D#m A#m
Remember the first time we got high
We felt like the rampart lion's roar
We were elastic and then we were healed
Healed in the blinking of an eye

And then when the dawn cracked over us
The day wouldn't hit us hard at all
We could ride the morning into night again
We knew the days were there to waste

     C#
But these days
            B      D#m
That light hit so heavy
      C#
And those days
            B
Feel like another life

Chorus:
D#m                 C#
This isn't like the first time anymore
A#m                         B
And I've been chasing after all
D#m              C#
Digging for the lost memories
A#m                      B
Of our youth written in fire
D#m                   C#
You always said it's not too late for me
A#m                         B
I sure am listening to you now
D#m           C#
Leaving me so I can trust myself
A#m                                   B
'Cause there's a first time for that too

Remember the first time that we kissed
It felt like a planet forming
But we were just novices at this
It felt like an ancient wisdom

There was lightning then and those
songs were all proved true
No wonder I still think
so much about you

But these days
My heart feels too heavy
And those days
Are someone else's life

Chorus
