Lyrics for Falling for the First Time

I'm so cool, too bad I'm a loser I'm so smart, too bad I can't get anything figured out I'm so brave, too bad I'm a baby I'm so fly, that's probably why it feels just like I'm falling for the first time I'm so green, it's really amazing I'm so clean, too bad I can't get all the dirt off of me I'm so sane, it's driving me crazy It's so strange, I can't believe it feels just like I'm falling for the first time Anyone perfect must be lying Anything easy has its cost Anyone plain can be lovely Anyone loved can be lost What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nurse this infection? Maybe the worst is behind It feels just like I'm falling for the first time It feels just like I'm falling for the first time I'm so chill, no wonder it's freezing I'm so still, I just can't keep my fingers out of anything I'm so thrilled to finally be failing I'm so done, turn me over 'cause it feels just like I'm falling for the first time Anything plain can be lovely Anything loved can be lost Maybe I lost my direction What if our love is the cost? Anyone perfect must be lying Anything easy has its cost Anyone plain can be lovely Anyone loved can be lost What if I lost my direction? What if I lost sense of time? What if I nurse this infection? Maybe the worst is behind Maybe the worst is behind Maybe the worst is behind
