[Verse 1]
First time I'm in love with my eyes wide open again
I'm just a kid on the bed with a grin and I cannot pretend
This is new to me, making time for two
Never felt it all like I do with you
First time I'm in love with my eyes wide open again
[Chorus]
Finally I'm free, a canary in a coalmine
Peace, as I dance on a tripwire

I barely even know ya
But you're all I wanna see, yeah
[Verse 2]
First time I can see in full colour and I like what I see
(Like what I see, yeah)
Ain't it good in the world when you notice all the patterns on leaves?

Finally I'm free, a canary in a coalmine
Peace, as I dance on a tripwire
Free for the first time
I barely even know ya
But you're all I wanna see, yeah
[Outro]
Finally I'm free, a canary in a coalmine
Peace, as I dance on a tripwire
Free for the first time
I barely even know ya
But you're all I wanna see
