Neon Trees - First Things First [tekst, tłumaczenie i interpretacja piosenki]

[Hook]
You are never gonna get
Everything you want in this world
First things first
Get what you deserve

[Verse 1]
It began when I was twenty-one years old
And my mom and dad were begging me to go
So I left a note and we went and hit the road
Me and Chris and all the stuff I own

I went out to find my soul
And left the only comfort that I know
It wasn't about a girl or even California bleeding
It was all about me choosing where to go
And I sing

[Hook x2]

[Verse 2]
There were years I felt like everything was new
Long before the troubles of my youth
There were days and nights I couldn't see the end
And I swear the music was my only friend

You learn to lie about forgiveness
When you choose to let down all your pride
I don't wanna be so famous
I just want to sing until I die
So sing it

[Hook x2]

[Bridge]
When I wish upon a star
I'll tell it how I got this far

[Verse 3]
It began when I learn how to face myself
And I'm still deciding if I'm something else
I'm a million different people all the time
But there's only one of me to get it right

[Hook x4]
