[Verse 1:]
I knew you before
Took a lifetime to forget
But as my eyes meet yours
I take all I can get
They light up the shadows of my heart
Return stolen works of art
Yet you can't discern this moment's grace
[Hook:]
But I still remember you
In that big, old, white Suburban
And although you look right past me
With disregard
The first won't happen twice
[Verse 2:]
My gaze shifts to the ground
More alone than I was then
I have searched your eyes
But they don't comprehend
I crawl back into the shadows of my heart
And just sit there in the dark
Where you don't require the love you'll still take
[Hook]
[Bridge:]
And although I've since moved on
And I've been in love a few times
There's still a piece of me
That holds on to you
‘Cause the first won't happen twice
Won't happen twice
It won't happen twice
I remember you
In that big, old, white Suburban
And although you look right past me
With disregard
And although I've since moved on
And I've been in love a few times
There's still a piece of me
That can't let go of you
‘Cause the first won't happen twice
