First Timer

Elliott Smith · New Moon [2007]

You're a first timer, blaming everybody else

For the hard time you give yourself



In the cold riddle where you find yourself not blocked

By a door you locked



But don't get backed into a corner

Talking to yourself

Come on back to me

My pride tomorrow



You feel hollow

And you know it's because you are

Well at least so far



I think of you with hesitation

I think of you too hard

Come on back to me

But don't make me sorry



You're a first timer, blaming everybody else

For the hard time you give yourself

For the hard time you give yourself
