Sninned Knees

I skinned my knees when I was only seven
Again at age eleven, I think that still feels worse
Imagine all your skin out in the open
Like having your heart broken, there's nothing like your first
And I still ride my bike like nothing happened
With no overreaction, but I can't love again
There's something 'bout a heart that's scared of healing
My skin just knows the feeling and heartbreak's so much worse

I wish I knew what love could do
Before I jumped right in, right into you
And everybody told me it would hurt
But there's nothing like your first
Ooh

I thought it'd go away as I got older
But it's still on my shoulders, a jacket full of firsts
The second time around a little colder
A game with no controller, I'm using what I learned
I tried to love again like nothing happened
I only gave a fraction in case I lose again
There's something 'bout a heart that's scared of feeling
My skin is tired of healing and love is such a curse

I wish I knew what love could do
Before I jumped right in, right into you
And everybody told me it would hurt
But there's nothing like your first

Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh

I wish I knew what love could do
Before I jumped right in, right into you
And everybody told me it would hurt
But there's nothing like your first
