[Verse 1]
Long hours in tree houses
Playing hopscotch, playing tag and picking flowers
We were best friends, oaths and vows
All those promises we made when time was ours
[Pre-Chorus]
I wanted you more than I wanted superpowers
[Chorus]
My love, you stand so close, I tremble
It's just like I remembered
This time I will not let go
I'll never let go
'Cause when was the last time you and I did
Something for the first time
Something for the first time?
The last time we did
Something for the first time
Something for the first time?
[Verse 2]
Now we're older, childhood's over
We grew up from apple juice to whiskey sours
All these years I kept this secret
Like Rapunzel it was locked up in the tower
[Pre-Chorus]
Never told you that I love you
I wanted you more than I wanted superpowers
[Chorus]
My love, you stand so close, I tremble
It's just like I remembered
This time I will not let go
I'll never let go
'Cause when was the last time you and I did
Something for the first time
Something for the first time?
The last time we did
Something for the first time
Something for the first time?
[Bridge]
Never told you, but I love you
I wanted you more than I wanted superpowers
[Chorus]
My love, you stand so close, I tremble
It's just like I remembered
This time I will not let go
I'll never let go
'Cause when was the last time you and I did
Something for the first time
Something for the first time?
The last time we did
Something for the first time
Something for the first time?
Every young child has a phase of wanting superpowers. SAARA, too, had a phase, but it was far eclipsed in size by her crush on her childhood best friend. The crush never manifested, though — SAARA was too shy or too scared to admit it to him. He’s finding out now, though, after they’ve grown up.
Moreover, superpowers are enhanced means of empowerment — she’s perhaps considering him and her love for him as even more invigorating than superhuman abilities.
