The Very First Time

I'm not cynical

I'm not naive

I lost my faith in everything

But now I believe

It's not the principle

I'm not invisible

You open up the door

And you ask me to leave

I'm not stupid

I'm not smart

I'm not arrogant enough

To suffer for my art

I'm not a criminal

So set me free

If you're gonna say something

Say it to me

I know for sure

There's nothing more

For the very first time

Right here and now

There's something pure

For the very first time

It's not a chemical

It's not caffeine

It's something so much better

Than you ever seen

It's nothing physical

It's unintentional

The fire's still burning

If you know what I mean

I'm not stupid

I'm not smart

I'm not arrogant enough

To suffer for my art

I'm not a criminal

So set me free

If you're gonna say something

Say it to me

I know for sure

There's nothing more

For the very first time

Right here and now

There's something pure

For the very first time
