Lyrics The First Punch - Pierce The Veil

The First Punch

Blood on your tongue with a crass embrace
I found a kiss on the day we met and said
«This will be a night we won’t forget»
Speak slow now, I don’t want to 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
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
And 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
