"The First Time" lyrics

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 getting drunk on pills and potions
Craving 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 flying
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 nothing
Was nothing
Had nothing
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 flying
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
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 flying
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
