I’m Not the First Lyrics by {Parentheses}

{Parentheses}

2016

[Verse 1]
When you're afraid of the future
You live in the past
You have a panoramic view that was created to be cruel and I'm afraid there is no time to relax
Tortured by memories
Of what you have done
You have no sense of regard for who you've become

[Pre-Chorus 1]
I have the strangest feeling
That I have done all of this before
I got the strangest feeling
That I am not the first one to say

[Chorus]
Past lives gonna never gonna hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found, mm
Past lives will never come between us
The new world's gonna wake up all the dreamers now, mm

[Post-Chorus]
And I'm not the first to say
Na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, goodbye
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, goodbye

[Verse 2]
Well, I don't know where I'm going
But I know where I'm at
And instead of letting past lives determine who I am, I will focus all my energy on that
The only thing keeping
My feet on the ground
Is knowing through thick and thin, you'll still be around

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I have the strangest feeling
That I am needing you more and more
I got the strangest feeling
That I am not the first one to say

[Chorus]
Past lives gonna never gonna hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found, mm
Past lives will never come between us
The new world's gonna wake up all the dreamers now, mm

[Post-Chorus]
And I'm not the first to say—

[Bridge]
Do it!

[Chorus]
Past lives gonna never gonna hold me down
Lost love is sweeter when it's finally found, mm
Past lives will never come between us
The new world's gonna wake up all the dreamers now, mm

[Post-Chorus]
And I'm not the first to say
Na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, goodbye
Na-na-na-na, na-na-na-na, hey, goodbye
