The First Punch Songtext
von Pierce the Veil

Where you from, fool?

This world is about to change
In one, two, one, two, three, four

Look into my eyes
And write down the words you taste
Blood on your tongue with a crass embrace
A photo kiss on the day we met said
"This will be a night we won′t forget"
Speak slow now, I don't wanna miss when you cry
Glass over diamond blue eyes

And it′s good enough to make me wanna fall in love
So move a little bit closer
Hear the sound of your voice
We're screaming, "Why can't we just be friends?"
It′s not that easy but it′s half of the fun
To see you throw the first punch (now)

It's such a shame you had to go and run your mouth (your mouth)
Life is what you make it but at least I′ve got real friends


Can you hear me now?
Now that I'm a big star
Fuck you and your new love for yourself
It don′t mean shit

And it's good enough to make me wanna fall in love
So move a little bit closer
Hear the sound of your voice
We′re screaming, "Why can't we just be friends?"
It's not that easy but it′s half of the fun
To see you throw the first punch now

I′ve got so much to give but
I would kill just to feel less invisible
And you've got so much to learn about gravity
So live it up baby, don′t look down
Live it up baby, don't look down

And it′s good enough to make me wanna fall in love
So move a little bit closer
Hear the sound of your voice
We're screaming, "Why can′t we just be friends?"
It's not that easy but it's half of the fun
I saw it coming when you threw the first punch
You threw the first punch, now it′s your turn to run


This is the breath that will take my life
There′s no future but matches and propane
And through the mutated words I write
Kill it fast and never watch it die
