[Intro]
Teach me to fall
And I'll teach you to sing
When life keeps stealing your melody
Around your finger I'll be a string
I will forget everything I know
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first

[Verse 1]
I'll learn to dance if you promise not to laugh
And I end up in a cast
From falling over
And you can't get mad when some girl you think I have
Puts a story in your head
When I hardly know her so
About love, I don't know, about love
Sure feels good at first

[Chorus]
Ooh, every spring there's a honey bee that stings
So things can change
Ooh, every fire get too close and it reminds you
Things can change in love
But it sure feels good at first

[Verse 2]
For every heartbreak, there's a sermon to be said
And this pastor in my hands preaching to the choir
Don't get me wrong cause it's too soon to decide
But this ain't my first rodeo when my heart's been roped and tied
In love, I don't know, about love
But it sure feels good at first

[Chorus]
Ooh, every autumn colors come, that you've forgotten
So things can change
Ooh every frost some live on and some are lost
So things can change in love
But it sure feels good at first

[Outro]
Na na na na na, mmmmmm[x2]
But it sure felt good at first

Train is an American rock band from San Francisco, formed in 1993. The band currently consists of Patrick Monahan (lead vocals), Luis Maldonado (guitar), Hector Maldonado (bass, vocals), Drew Shoals (drums), Jerry Becker (keyboards, guitar), Sakai Smith (backup vocals), and Nikita Houston (backup vocals).

With a lineup that included original members Monahan, Rob Hotchkiss, Jimmy Stafford, Scott Underwood, and Charlie Colin, the band achieved mainstream success with their debut album Train, which was released in 1998 with the hit “Meet Virginia”. Train’s 2001 album, Drops of Jupiter contained the lead single “Drops of Jupiter (Tell Me)”, which won two Grammy Awards in 2002. The album was certified double platinum in the United States and Canada and remains the band’s best-selling album to date.

Train’s third studio album, My Private Nation, released in 2003, was certified platinum in the United States with the hit “Calling All Angels”. Following the departures of Hotchkiss and Colin, the band released their fourth album, For Me, It’s You in 2006, with Brandon Bush (keyboards) and Johnny Colt (bass). Despite a generally positive reception from critics, the album was commercially unsuccessful. Because of this, Train went on a two-year hiatus from recording any new music.
