Lyrics
Put your brand new car in first gear
release the brakes and restrain your fears
Let off the clutch and feel the wind in your hair
turn the corner and grip the wheel tighter
just like the rail of the roller coaster
you admit you've never done this before
and somehow you want more
You're young
you've got dreams to burn
you've got lessons to learn
but one thing you figure out as the years go by -
it's not like the first time
Just like the rush when the free-fall kicks in
you feel alive when you touch her skin
so in control and yet so helpless
Just like the first hit, first fight, first fist
she pulls you close and kisses your lips
choose instinct over inhibition
Not what might have been
You're young
you've got dreams to burn
you've got lessons to learn
but one thing you figure out as the years go by
that it's not like the first time
You can pine for youth
and avoid the truth
chase the daylight all your life
Try all you can
to feel that way again
but it's not like the first time
You're young
you've got dreams to burn
you've got lessons to learn
but one thing you figure out as the years go by -
it's not like the first time
