Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Dreaming Orlando, get it?
Give it time
Walked these steps before
Sixteen-year-old boy
Confused and knowing that he's different, he wants to give in
After school, sucker punched down
Down and out
[Refrain]
First kiss was the floor
First kiss was the floor
[Verse 2]
Think that it won't make a difference if you don't get up
Timing is all
I don't know, tell us more
What do you want me to think?
Well, I'm changing anyway
All that I know
Was taught to me young
Seen it all before
[Refrain]
First kiss the floor
First kiss the floor
First kiss the floor
Shoot, baby, shoot
[Outro]
Life on the floor
You know, it's an insult that we often put onto
Beneath the world
A lot of folk is, like, "Oh, you're doing too much"
So like, a couple years ago I was like
You know what? My resolution, my internal resolution will be to, to do too much
Sand in your pearls
Yes, I love it
