V1:
They say you never can outrun
The first time you fall love
But when it's unrequited
Feels so nearsighted
As it festers for years and years
Try your best to hid it
Yet still everybody knows
Chorus:
I guess that's the problem
With a first love, teenage crush
That never fully blossoms
It just sits there inside ya
Time bomb waitin' to go off
Cuz when you finally saw me
It melted every fiber in my body
Like a tidal wave, pushed me down
Took all the air from my lungs
And left me to drown
Tried to get back to shore
But I was already too far gone
Lost in your ocean blues
Wishing I'd never fallen for you
V2:
And I know you'll never change
Hot then cold, cycle goes on and on
But you've altered the chemistry up in my brain
And it's so damn toxic
How much I want it
Wouldn't have it any other way
Holding on to every word you say
Chorus:
I guess that's the problem
With a first love, teenage crush
That never fully blossoms
It just sits there inside ya
Time bomb waitin' to go off
Cuz when you finally saw me
It melted every fiber in my body
Like a tidal wave, pushed me down
Took all the air from my lungs
And left me to drown
Tried to get back to shore
But I was already too far gone
Lost in your ocean blues
Wishing I'd never fallen for you
Bridge:
My heart flutters
Melt me like butter
Every time you look at me
Every time I tell myself that I've moved on
You draw me back, caught in your swirl
Chorus:
I guess that's the problem
With a first love, teenage crush
That never fully blossoms
It just sits there inside ya
Time bomb waitin' to go off
Cuz when you finally saw me
It melted every fiber in my body
Like a tidal wave, pushed me down
Took all the air from my lungs
And left me to drown
Tried to get back to shore
But I was already too far gone
Lost in your ocean blues
Wishing I'd never fallen for you
