Lyrics
The First Cut
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
the first cut is the one you feel
the others just to make it real
I know you and you just can't stop
you show them what their lookin for
its you, but you still through the arrows
you're brand new
and all the rest of you
just chase your shadow
I'm easy when ya need a friend,
your perfect when you near the end
Go get em I will hold your coat
There's sevens on the dice they throw
and its you, but you bounce through the arrows
I'm brand new cause I'm still in your shadow
shadow..
shadow..
shadow...
