[Verse]

Once I was afraid that I'd find you

Your patient trembling eyes would unwind me

And all I've become

Once I was afraid I'd fall in love with you

For the first time

Let's go set fire to all these houses

The smoke will billow up with our laughter

The flames will lick your skin

And I'll fall in love with you

For the first time

[Bridge]

Shout into the ocean, show your teeth

Plan it, all the wanderings of the sea

Your fear is shining plainly through your tears

Staying every night, or so it seems

With those who always break at all your seams

Come back into the water, holding tight

[Refrain]

Once I was afraid that I'd find you

Your patient trembling eyes would unwind me

And all I've become

Once I was afraid I'd fall in love with you

For the first time
