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
