Lyrics The First - Tegan and Sara

Stand up, sit down baby
Gonna be a formal dress down hay day
We decide why not go downtown
How about you and me we go get wasted
(You'll have, you'll have to excuse me)
Why don't we get wasted
(Please please, please excuse me)
Hey, lets get wasted
(You'll have, you'll have to excuse me)
This'll be my first time

By definition from grade school to English 30
We quietly become strong so early
Take it or leave it
They can't believe it
They go from kindergarten to killing sprees
They go from heartache to inner peace
100 foot ceilings, 100 percent deceit
He said, let's leave this between you and me
My cats watch my stuff leave my house
(Take it or leave it, I can't believe it)
Between you and me the cat burglars are
What did you see, what did you steal
Tell me baby how does it feel
Yeah, how do you feel

It's a top ten list of things that move me the most
It's a top ten list of things that bother me the most
A top ten list of things that scare me the most
I'd have to say that the future

Wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line, and
Celebrate life
Celebrate death
I choose to celebrate the first
I celebrate the first

We decide to go out walking
Whole time that we're talking
Convinced that we're living
Whole time that we're dying
We decide to go out walking
Whole time that you're talking
Convinced that you're living
Whole time that I'm dying

Keeps me on my toes, where did the time go
You keep me on my toes, where did the time go

On the edge of town where the gravel's thin
They're gonna wear you down until you're thin and
Tired, tired, tired
Of wasting time in the fast food line
I decide to walk the fine line and
Celebrate life
Celebrate death
I choose to celebrate

The first to come
The first to go
The first to say yes
The first to say no
I'm gonna seize this moment
The first to come
The first to go
The first to say yes
First to say no

We decide to go out walking
Whole time that we're talking
Convinced that we're living
Whole time that we're dying

Keeps me on my toes, where did the time go
Keeps me on my toes, where did the time go
You keep me on my toes, where did the time go

You keep me on my toes
You keep me on my toes
