First Love
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.
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
Do you miss home?
Do you miss home?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical?
Let's get married
And tick the boxes
Says, and so she says
Oh let's get married
And tick the boxes
Do you want to be alone?
Do you wanna be alone?
And are you cool?
Symmetrical,
Hypocritical
Analytical
So critical
Nothing's perfect; and I'm hoping I'll do, do
But I will not do
Cause nothing's perfect; so I'll have to make do
And it's my mistake
And no mistake
And I would take it back if I could
So stay with me tonight
And I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it
And pillow-talking into it
I'll make my bed, I'll lie in it
I enticed you with its leopard print
And matching velvet duvet
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
First love, last love
Only love, it's only love
Only love, only love
It's only love!
It's only love
