So if you don´t wanna start, I´ll go first, friend, I´ll tell you about
How hard it´s been, how I´m ripped apart, how I died once or twice just to make it this far
How I can´t sing all them lullabies, and how I can´t get through the night without the stars
How life ain´t fair, how I´m used to that
How if you would show me yours, I´d show you my scars

Said hm, said hm, I will go first, I will go first
Said hm, said hm, I will go first, I will go first

Them birds I fear, them years I fear, them songs I fear, and the red red dust
Them cars I fear, them lovers I fear, I will no longer heal from them

So if you´re done, playin´ shy, open up, friend, and tell me about
How lost you´ve been, how quite insecure, how it is true that they came knockin´ at your door
How dark it´s been with or without lights, and how you can´t swim unless you know where to sink at
How cold it gets, how you´re used to that
How if I would stay right here, you´d stay there by my side

Said hm, said hm, I will go first, I will go first
Said hm, said hm, I will go first, I will go first

We didn´t ask for that much, did we?
We almost got it right
We´ll never get to change it, will we?
We can´t go back in time
