[Verse 1]
I wait for you
Lying on your side
Tell me the truth
It's okay it'll be alright
Alright
That New Orleans night
You told me everything
But I said I stayed
And I only say what I mean
[Pre-Chorus]
Called you on the phone from the city tonight
Called you on the phone just to tell you that I
I won't give up on you
[Chorus]
Carolina
I want you close
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting up all night
Carolina
We're losing time
I just gotta tell you
The first love never says goodbye
[Verse 2]
You hurt the most
The ones we most let in
If I knew every future sorrow
That you'd brеak my heart again
[Pre-Chorus]
Called you on the phonе from the city tonight
Called you on the phone from the city tonight
[Chorus]
Carolina
I want you close
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting up all night
Carolina
We're losing time
I just gotta tell you
The first love never says goodbye
[Bridge]
Don't you dare say
I never really loved you
I've been right here feeling everything
Don't you dare think
I'm better off without you
You're still here feeling everything
I gotta get you
I gotta get you
I gotta get you
I gotta get you home
Get you home
Get you home
Get you home
[Chorus]
Carolina
I want you close
I've been waiting for you
I've been waiting up all night
Carolina
We're losing time
I just gotta tell you
The first love never says goodbye
