The First Time I Fell in Love

[Verse 1]

I was only seventeen

Watching Golden State upon the silver screen

The first time I fell in love

Second Saturday of July

In the parking lot of Paly High

The first time I fell in love

It was rollerblades and cigarettes

EDM dubbed on cassette

Just me and nobody else

[Refrain]

On this topsy-turvy wild and whirly in a hurry

Full of worry rollercoaster ride

The first time I fell in love with myself

There were morning glories trailing up the vine

Like a kelp forest that otters climb

The first time I fell in love

The coffee shop was cranking punk rock

The marching band played down the block

The first time I fell in love

It was Fandangos on the stage

Where I sang the Alabama Getaway

Just me and nobody else

[Refrain]

On this topsy-turvy wild and whirly in a hurry

Full of worry rollercoaster ride

The first time I fell in love with myself

[Instrumental Break]

[Bridge]

I always thought love was for somebody else

A mother, a brother, a friend

But it came to me so easily

The kind that comes from within

[Verse 3]

Now looking back at the photographs

I just have to laugh when I think of that

First time I fell in love

And all through the years, all the wasted tears

All the hopes and fears I can see so clear

The first time I fell in love

So if you're wise just step inside

Close your eyes and hold on tight

It's just you and nobody else

[Refrain]

On this topsy-turvy wild and whirly in a hurry

Full of worry rollercoaster ride

The first time you fell in love with yourself
