First to Finish, Last to Start

[Verse 1]

Rain falls, you know it's got to rain

The sky lifts it up and lets it down again

And it's alright, you must accept your part

Being the first to finish or the last to start

[Bridge]

And when you meet me on the ledge

We'll all be singing out again

And if you must, then jump away

I'm not afraid, we'll meet another day

[Verse 2]

Flame burns, it burns its fuel away

It lights up the dark night and warms the cold, cold day

But if you burn too strong, you might expend your heart

Being the first to finish and the last to start

[Refrain]

The first to finish and the last to start

The first to finish and the last
