"First Times" lyrics

"First Times"

I thought it'd feel different playing Wembley
80,000 singing with me
It's what I've been chasing 'cause this is the dream

When it was all over, I cleared out the room
Grabbed a couple beers, just me and you
Then we start talking the way that we do

Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember

The first kiss, the first night, the first song that made you cry
The first drink, red wine, on a step in Brooklyn
I still feel the first fight, but we both made it out alive
And I can't wait to make a million more first times

The greatest thing that I have achieved
Is four little words down on one knee
You said, "Darling, are you joking?"
And I just said, "Please."

Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember

The first kiss, the first night, the first song that made you cry
The first look in your eyes when I said, "I love you."
I can still feel the butterflies from when we stumbled home that night
I can't wait to make a million more first times

Ain't it funny how the simplest things in life can make a man
Little moments that pass us by
Oh, but I remember

The first kiss, first night, first song that made you cry
First dance in moonlight in your parents' garden
I can't wait to see everything that's yet to be
Our first child, and then a million more first times

Ed Sheeran shared with Apple Music the following story about "First Times", "We were living in this house in Nashville, which had an amazing wine cellar, and all of my friends had these weed pens. We'd finish a day of sessions, have a load of wine, get on the weed pens, watch an 'Avengers' movie and just smash Doritos. One night, Fred is like, 'Hey, man, can you re-vocal this?' And I could barely keep my eyes open. I was not a functioning human. I sung it once and that's the version on the song, which is why it's gentle and delicate. Because I was almost gone."
