Your Thing

Saying things that we shouldn't be saying
lighting fires where we shouldn't be playing
I know you and I know what your game is
build it up high & then run from the flames

I was your first love, you were twenty two
I went out and I hung the moon for you
but you got scared and closed the curtains
missed my present and decided for certain

First love isn't always last love
& what you want isn't always enough
Distance is more than miles inbetween
& love's trying to say just what you mean
& that was never really your thing

You're still the prettiest boy I've ever held
& all those memories are not for sale
but you like to kick up the past with me
& you're never around when it's done settling

So don't blame me if I don't call you back
I can't go on being played with like that
do you even know how deep it runs with me?
You were the one that was unsure of me

First love isn't always last love
& what you want isn't always enough
Distance is more than miles inbetween
& love's trying to say just what you mean
& that was never really your thing

You in that green shirt out on the porch
olive skin, dark eyes, I'd have died to be let in
a cigarette out the corner of your mouth
smoke rising up and then sailing out
Funny the things I remember now

First love isn't always last love
& what you want isn't always enough
Distance' is more than miles inbetween
& love's trying to say just what you mean
& that was never really your thing
