[Verse 1]
Let me take you down
I can see you now
Lying on the ground

But I can take you in
Wash away your sins

Let me show you how
I can hear you now
Barking from the pound
They were gonna put you down
They were gonna shut you up

[Chorus]
I know what's in store
Because I've done this once before

But it still feels like the first time
It still feels like the first time
It still feels like the first time

[Verse 2]
She's the only one
That can make me feel like a real man
But I know this just won't last
I know this just won't last
So finish your cigarette, my love
May you rest in peace, my adolescent song
I'm just your overbearing underdog
I'm just a dog

They were gonna put me down
They were gonna shut me up

[Chorus]
I know what's in store
Because I've done this once before

But it still feels like the first time
It still feels like the first time
Like the first time

I know what's in store
Because I've done this once before

But it still feels like the first time
It still feels like the first time
Like the first time
It still feels like the first time
It still feels like the first time
