The First Thing

I knew something was up
When your sister called, 'cause I didn't talk to her much
Three AM, the sound of her voice I'll never forget
She told me that you were gone
Almost seventeen and nobody knew something was wrong
In my head, the sound of your voice I'll never forget

Now it's been four years stuck in the past
And there's no coming back from that

So when I wake up I'm still looking for you
Keep calling your phone but it's not going through
And I just wanna feel the same as I used to
And how come it still seems like it's all a lie?
'Cause nothing they said made any sense that night
And there's a lot on my mind
But you're still the first thing

I keep your things on my shelf
Next to picture frames of us, but now I'm somebody else
Not the same, and everyone says they think that I've changed

Now it's been four years stuck in the past
And there's no coming back from that

So when I wake up I'm still looking for you
Keep calling your phone but it's not going through
And I just wanna feel the same as I used to
And how come it still seems like it's all a lie?
'Cause nothing they said made any sense that night
And there's a lot on my mind
But you're still the first thing

You're still the first thing
You're the first thing, the first thing
The first thing

Now I'm giving up on looking for you
Tried calling your phone but it's somebody new
So I don't know what to do
It took me this long just to read all the signs
And now what they said makes perfect sense tonight
I've got a lot on my mind
