Lyrics

Hozier — First Time

Remember once I told you 'bout

How before I heard it from your mouth

My name would always hit my ears

As such an awful sound

And the soul, if that's what you'd call it

Uneasy ally of the body

It felt nameless as a river undiscovered underground

And the first time that you kissed me

“First Time” was last played on 14 October 2025 at Palacio de los Deportes, Mexico City.
