1st Things 1st Lyrics by Phantom Planet

Phantom Planet

2004

[Verse 1]
You should get your story straight
Before I start to doubt it
'Cause if you've worn your lipstick off
I wanna hear about it
And telling me would be such a breeze
Say it if you wanna leave
I think I'm getting the drift

[Chorus]
You want some time with your friends
On the nights and weekends
You take the time for yourself
Both of us used to spend
Before you make it better
Before you make it worse
First things first
(That's right)

[Verse 2]
I don't think it's an accident
You treat me like a dummy
Hold on, hold on
Well, I've been asking for the truth
At least just tell me something
Hold on, hold on
And telling me would be such a breeze
Let me know, don't let me be
It's almost too easy

[Chorus]
I'm holding you by the hand
More like the nape of your neck
Why don't you draw up a list
You have to frequently check?
And put some things in order
And lose it in your purse
First things first

I'm holding you by the hand
More like the nape of your neck
Why don't you draw up a list
You have to frequently check?
And put some things in order
And lose it in your purse
First things first

And all that time with your friends
On every night and weekend
You take the time for yourself
Both of us used to spend
Before you make it better
Before you make it worse
First things
First things
First things
First things first
