Capo 5
He s the first taste of something you shouldn t have
He s the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
He s the reason you love the smell of polo and peppermint
He s the lips that taught you how to kiss
He s the reason you know how to drive a stick
He s the last time you ever felt innocent
Chorus:
It s a scene from a Saturday matinee
It s a song that remembers those summer days
Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
The boy never stays
And the love never goes
He s the reason ferris wheels make you sad
He s a box full of taped-up photographs
He s the feeling that always feels like seventeen
He s a name that you hardly ever hear
He s a face that you haven t seen in years
That you meet up once in a while in your dreams
Chorus
You never fall quite the same again
After the first time
Forever ends
Chorus
Oh the love never goes
He s the first taste of something you shouldn t have
He s the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
