"First Chance I Get"

first chance i get i'm going to write you a letter
and tell you everything i'm feeling
first chance i get i'm going to make it better
then we can both start healing

but right now there's blood everywhere
tears and despair
and the mirror is cracking
first chance i get i'm going to send my blues packing

first chance i get i'm going to take you somewhere
somewhere safe and secluded
first chance i get i'm going to take you up where
pure love ain't diluted

but right now the roads are bad
the world's going mad
but i swear i'm going to get there some day
first chance i get i'm going to plan the big getaway

but right now i'm occupied
my hands are tied
but i swear i'm going to get around to it
first chance i get i'm going to say i love you and prove it
