We walked along the beach
We walked and sighed a while
We smiled once or twice and then we left
We cried when we got home
We shed a tear or two and then
We smiled once or twice, did it again

You were to be my first love
You were to be my first love
You were to be my first love

You took your time to come
You smirked at me just like that
You laughed a couple times at my bad jokes
You said you felt the same way
You looked into my eyes and then
You laughed a couple times at how we felt

You were to be my first love
You were to be my first love
You were to be my first love

You took this heart and broke it
You tore to pieces what you made
You made so much of me, did you know?
That when you held me close
Though we swayed in time with the wind
I thought that you were stable
And I tried to hold on to you

I swore I wouldn't come back
I came and now I'm waiting
I kicked at the dust and walked away
I'll cry when I got home
I'll grasp at something that I know
I'll kick at the wall and then you'll call

You'll want to know where I am
You'll want to know where we are
You'll want to take the next step

I will want you to pinch me
For I am sure I'm dreaming
I'll see the paradox when I wake up

You were to be my first love
You were to be my first love
You were to be my first love and you were
Because I smiled as you walked away
