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
