lyrics

One time claimed in childish days, now hazy distant past
The second said right from the head, but the love it didn’t last
The third reserved for the boy who one day will freeze time
There’s just one more first ‘I Love You’ til I die.

So much contained one little phrase, A word a spoken line
But meaning is deceiving if no feeling is behind
So many start this journey with a lover who is blind
And that love is neither patient, nor is kind

A constant foggy windshield and a broken rearview mirror.
As she drives you toward the ocean, truth will become clear.
Can’t afford to fight you battles, if you don’t trust who's by your side
You’d be best to show your fear and hide your pride.

Once the closet has been emptied and all the cards are dealt.
When we’ve cleared ourselves of envy, and we’ve cleared ourselves of guilt.
And we’re certain beyond reason this can stand the test of time.
There’s just one more first ‘I Love You’ til I die.
There’s just one more first ‘I Love You’ til I die.
It’s the final first ‘I love You’ til I die.
