The First Time

I thought my heart had felt it all

I swam for miles across the ocean

Never met the shore

My eyes were closed, my highs were lows

Just gettin' drunk on pills and potions

Cravin' something more

Traveled the world but it got me nowhere

Nothing could ever compare

A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry

And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher

Than the first time we met

There's nothing like the first time we met

I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'

And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher

Than the first time we met

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met

That night, the stars aligned, Heaven dropped a line

Before you, I was just a flare in the sky

A kid too afraid to go to play in the light

A colorless painter, a man with no sight

Before you, I was nothin', was nothin'

Had nothin', I only had

A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry

And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher

Than the first time we met

There's nothing like the first time we met

I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'

And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher

Than the first time we met

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met

You set the room on fire

You take the angels higher

I heard a thousand choirs

Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet

Traveled the world, it got me nowhere

Nothing could ever compare

A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry

The drugs I've done, they never got me higher

Than the first time we met

There's nothing like the first time we met

And when I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin'

And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher

Than the first time we met

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met

The first time we met

The first time we met

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met
