First Second

Cole Swindell



The first second I saw you
Thought, “I don’t wanna spend another one without you”
But the first second chance I blew
Told you I’d change, but I never followed through

So girl, I don’t blame you for you up and leavin’
Just hate it took you never lookin’ back for me to see that

Ooh, instead of whiskey, girl, I should’ve chased you
Instead of wild, girl, I should’ve stayed
Body on your body all night long
Gettin’ what I should’ve got right wrong
And I was makin’ money when I should’ve made time
Now I spend all of mine just
Wishin’ we were more than just a learned lesson
‘Cause I put what I should have put first second

I put what I should have put first second

It’s kinda funny, isn’t it, how hindsight works
That 20/20 hit me when you gave me back my shirts
At the last minute, when you pulled out the drive
“Would you be here tonight if that night I realized that?”

Ooh, instead of whiskey, girl, I should’ve chased you
Instead of wild, girl, I should’ve stayed
Body on your body all night long
Gettin’ what I should’ve got right wrong
And I was makin’ money when I should’ve made time
Now I spend all of mine just
Wishin’ we were more than just a learned lesson
‘Cause I put what I should have put first second

Hmm, I put what I should have put first second

Girl, we’d be kissin’ on the counter of a place we bought together
You’d be happy, I’d be lucky, we’d be talkin’ ’bout forever
If I knew then what I know now
I had it all mixed up, I had it all turned ’round

Ooh, instead of whiskey, girl, I should’ve chased you
Instead of wild, girl, I should’ve stayed
Body on your body all night long
Gettin’ what I should’ve got right wrong
And I was makin’ money when I should’ve made time
Now I spend all of mine just
Wishin’ we were more than just a learned lesson
‘Cause I put what I should have put first second

I put what I should have put first second
