“First Original Thought” is the lead single off Voeyeur (Deluxe). Prior to the deluxe editions announcement, Rose had been teasing the track on her social media platforms.
[Intro]
(You had your first original thought)
[Verse 1]
You had a revelation last night
Did Jesus tell ya I'm the love of your life?
Boys have everything but foresight
Beautiful face, but not so much of a mind
[Pre-Chorus]
Whatever, better late than never
Put the pieces all together, finally (Ugh, finally)
[Chorus]
You had your first original thought
And it hit you like a freight train
God, it must be hard (So hard)
Havin' your first original thought
But you'll always be you
And I'll be a star, ah-ah
I'll be a star
[Verse 2]
Are you havin' fun out solo?
Repeatin' exes, but they're just not the one
All your little friends have gone home
Now you're alone, thinkin' 'bout what you've done (Done)
[Pre-Chorus]
And the gears are turning
Ain't it fun to see how that works? (That works)
Common sense is knocking
And regret can be, like, the worst (The worst)
And the bulbs are lighting
Inspiration comin' in bursts
Now it's two o'clock and you wanna talk, oh-woah-woah
[Chorus]
You had your first (First) original thought (Original thought)
And it hit you like a freight train
God, it must be hard (So hard)
Havin' your first (First) original thought (Original thought)
But you'll always be you
And I'll be a star, ah-ah
[Post-Chorus]
Love to see you use your brain like that
Love to see you use your brain like that
When you do, you know you want me back
When you do, you know you want me back, baby
Love to see you use your brain like that
Love to see you use your brain like that
When you do, you know you want me back
When you do, you know you want me back
[Bridge]
You had your first original thought
And it hit you like a freight train
Oh my God (Oh my God)
[Chorus]
You had your first (First) original thought (Original thought)
And it hit you like a freight train
God, it must be hard (So hard)
Havin' your first (First) original thought (Original thought)
But you'll always be you
And I'll be a star, ah-ah
[Post-Chorus]
Love to see you use your brain like that
Love to see you use your brain like that (Baby)
When you do, you know you want me back
When you do, you know you want me back, baby (Yeah, oh)
Love to see you use your brain like that
Love to see you use your brain like that
When you do, you know you want me back
When you do, you know you want me back
[Outro]
