First to Love-Maia Friedman

If I were the first to love
You’d be the first to be loved
Wait as the roots find their way
They’ll grow deeper with each passing day

Look as the clouds pass overhead
I will count them till the daylight ends
It will take more than one try
We will wait for a brighter sky

Peel away, keeping me up through the night
I’ll be ok, be whatever you like
Fall away, I’ll stay with you by your side
Escape, be whatever you like

There is a way that you move
Through the spaces in front of you
Filling the room with light
I can watch you with unflinching eyes

It takes one more try
With each passing night
Each passing day
Each passing night
