Song Lyrics

Let's go
Yeah, your memories are too kind

Behind every closed door lies another room
Waiting there for you

Should I open the Pandora's letter box
Like she wanted me to?
Outside the time and space we share
E always equals MC squared

[Chorus]
Don't you know
Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time?
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever felt quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Building castles on quicksand
Wearing all the emperor's new clothes
Reaching down through the looking glass
Where am I on the yellow brick road?

Always ending where I began
Adam left Eve the original sin

[Chorus]

Nothing ever felt quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Law of diminishing returns
Will I live long enough to learn?

Don't you know?
I don't think you know
I don't think you know

I know I know what I said
I know I know what I said the first time
Yes, the first time

I hope that this won't be...
I hope that this ain't the last time
It feels like the first

Nothing ever tastes quite as good
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever feels quite as bad
Quite as sad
As it did the last time

Nothing tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing tastes like it should

Don't you know
Nothing ever cuts quite as deep
Quite as sweet
As it does the first time?
Yeah, the first time

Nothing ever hurts quite as much
As a touch
Left by the last time
The first time
The first time

I want the last time to be like
Like the first time

Well, you know
Nothing ever tastes that good
Nothing ever tastes that good

That good
You'll never get it back
