lyrics

My first girlfriend
You were barely interested in me
I watched your every move
Your sophistication
Your sadness and your certitude
You read books all the time
And made me wanna read books
Over my head
You were the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen
So smart and funny
Six years older
You had long blonde hair to your waist
And you didn't give a damn
You saved me from drowning once
You were standing at the ladder
Water up to your chest
I started slipping down the slope
Couldn't get to the surface
I caught with my index finger
The string of your bikini
You were
You were the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen
So smart and funny
Six years older
You had long blonde hair to your waist
And you didn't give a damn
What your mother said
You left for good as soon as you could
I never forgot you
Nor would I ever forget you
My first girlfriend
My first girlfriend
My first girlfriend
My index finger
Your bikini
Pulled me up 'cause
You were angry
To the surface, I'd just breathed
You told me off as you pulled up your bikini
