about

Probably the oldest song in the barrow burrow catalog, First Divorce showed up in the 2006 EP, I Was A Dead Man Yesterday.

Fun Fact: This is Jack's dad's favorite barrow burrow song.

lyrics

We were just kids kissing in the hall
I held your books
I held your hand
Our parents were allies
And we never once stepped out of line

I made a point to purchase some topaz
On our two week anniversary
There was tension in my eyes
I thought that one day you would
Marry me

But are you just a girl who happened to be here when I needed you?
You didn't have to be perfect
I just needed someone to hold on to

I close the door and drew a portrait
Made of scribbled hearts and X's
I've never been good with bad news
Or understood how to learn from life's lessons

So it's up to the lines and loops
To guide me back on course
This is so selfish but it's like that
When you go through your first divorce
