First Day of School
Brea Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The summer was over I was back to school
It had been a good one I was looking real cool
Down at the lake I fell in love twice
I was ready for anything yeah except advice

And he came walking down the hall looking so cool
Jeans riding on his hips his eyes a deep blue
I dropped my books my heart skipped
And when he bent down to help me he touched my hand yeah

And he said what's your name
Hey I asked you first- my cool and confidence it usually works
Then came the words that knocked me on my ass
He said I'm Mr. Connor and this is my class

Oh on the first day of school I hit on Mr. Connor
I fell fast yeah I fell so hard
He got to me right from the start
Mr. Connor did it good yeah he stole my heart

I don't give up easy I knew it was a lie
He looked so young in his faded Levis
I said lets skip yeah we could just bail
He said if I did that they have to put me in jail

Oh on the first day of school I hit on Mr. Connor
I fell fast yeah I fell so hard
He got to me right from the start
Mr. Connor did it good yeah he stole my heart

It was too true he was a teacher
It's not fair he could've been a keeper
Graduation is so far way
And I can't wait for that day

Oh on the first day of school I hit on Mr. Connor
I fell fast yeah I fell so hard




He got to me right from the start
Mr. Connor did it good yeah he stole my heart
