He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
He's the reason you love the smell of polo and peppermint
He's the lips that taught you how to kiss
He's the reason you know how to drive a stick
He's the last time you ever felt innocent
It's a scene from a Saturday matinee
It's a song that remembers those summer days
Even if that cowboy rides away real slow
The boy never stays
And the love never goes
He's the reason ferris wheels make you sad
He's a box full of taped-up photographs
He's the feeling that always feels like seventeen
He's a name that you hardly ever hear
He's a face that you haven't seen in years
That you meet up once in a while in your dreams
You never fall quite the same again
After the first time
Forever ends
Oh the love never goes
He's the first taste of something you shouldn't have
He's the first lie you tell to your mom and dad
