“first” is, ironically, the final song in dusk.

[Verse 1]
I think we saw it comin'
It wasn't hard to see
The time we had together
Was over, we agree
But I have no regrets
Just strange to sit and think

And then they're gone within a blink
[Chorus]
It's odd that I can write these songs
Never knowin' right from wrong
But when I finally found
That my heart could pound
The chapter seemed to end
I can't believe you've come and gone
And you think your future's long
But there was just no way

For еverything you've done
Although it wasn't easy
I'm proud we gave it a run
The first of many lessons
That I will undergo
Our journeys will diverge here
And we'll learn from what we know
[Chorus]
But it's so odd that I can write these songs
Never knowin' right from wrong
But when I finally found
That my heart could pound
The chapter seemed to end
And I can't believe you've come and gone
When you think your future's long
There was just no way
Nothing we could say
The chapter had to end
