"The First Time I Fell In Love" lyrics

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

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

On this topsy-turvy wild and whirly in a hurry
Full of worry rollercoaster ride
The first time I fell in love with myself

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

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

On this topsy-turvy wild and whirly in a hurry
Full of worry rollercoaster ride
The first time you fell in love with yourself
