First Impressions

(Sam Hendrian)

Saddened by the impending end of a relationship, the singer longs to go back to the days of "first impressions" when there was no much to lose and everything to gain.

Wanna go back to the earlier days
When disagreements dressed up like okays
And a kiss had three times the staying power
And a dandelion could pass for a flower.

Where did the first impressions go?
That just-the-good-parts show,
The joy of I-don’t-know,
The peace of take-it-slow.

It may be that what rises fast falls faster,
Covered in gold and then covered in plaster
Peeled back to reveal there was nothing much there
Other than mutual quests for someone to care.

Where did the first impressions go?
That just-the-good-parts show,
The joy of I-don’t-know,
The peace of take-it-slow.

In the beginning there was lightness of spirit,
Bells were ringing and you could damn well hear it,
But in the middle we were slower to the draw,
Slower to point out the beauty we saw.

Where did the first impressions go?
That just-the-good-parts show,
The joy of I-don’t-know,
The peace of take-it-slow.

Should have left it at first impressions,
Should have left it at hi-bye expressions.
