Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time





Like being in love she said for the first time
Like being in love to feel for the first time

Overall Meaning

The song โ€œFirst Timeโ€ by Lifehouse speaks about two individuals who have been hesitant to find love but have finally mustered the courage to give it a chance. Both of them have had their share of hurt and are more comfortable keeping their feelings bottled up. It is easier to hide and let past experience shape their present and future choices. However, now that they have found each other, they are willing to be vulnerable and let go of their reservations.


The singer goes on to express the depth of the emotions that he feels. He is scared to let her in, but he is also excited at the prospect of exploring love again. The lyrics paint an image of the world he sees when he looks at her, and it is beautiful. It wakes him up to dream and makes him want to take a chance on love again.


The chorus speaks of the intensity of the emotion he feels. It's like being in love for the first time, he says. The feeling is almost as deep as the sky under his skin. He has a sense of belonging with her, and he feels alive all over again. The song expresses the revitalizing effect of love, how it can make you feel alive, open to new possibilities, and make you see things from a different perspective.

Finally, we are here now
I've been waiting all my life, whoa
Every day you're all I think about, yeah
My mind, it's like a river and you always bathe in the water
Oh, I prayed for you
Oh, I cried for you
I can't believe we're here at last
Oh, I prayed for you
Oh, I cried for you
I can't believe we're here at last
Can you take me through? Oh
Touch me on my face
Kiss me on my hand
Take me to a place where we find love
Show me what it means
And how it's supposed to feel
You got all I need
Can we make love
Like it's our first time?
First time
First time
Oh, what if this is nothing but a dream?
Can I sleep here forever? Whoa
You're the best thing that I've ever seen, yeah
Your face is like a superpower
You're the sun and I'm the flower
Oh, I prayed for you (prayed)
Oh, I cried for you (cried)
I can't believe we're here at last, mm-mm
Oh, I prayed for you (prayed)
Oh, I cried for you (cried)
I can't believe we're here at last
Can you take me through? Oh
Touch me on my face (touch on my face)
Kiss me on my hand (kiss on my hand)
Take me to a place where we find love (where we find love)
Show me what it means (show what it means)
And how it's supposed to feel (how it should feel)
You got all I need
Can we make love (can we make love)
Like it's our first time?
First time
First time
Oh
First time
First time
First time
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

I met my first love at 14 years old and he was my first everything in this life. My first and only experience to love really. We were together for 7 years and he passed away this year to suicide. I play this song and weep often thinking of the first time we saw eachother and just knew weโ€™d be forever, the first time we talked, hung out, kissed, made love and he just loved me through our time growing up together and took good care of me over the years. I play this song and think of all the times Iโ€™d talk to god about him and just be so grateful for him. The times I let God know I was set for life with him. I think of the times Iโ€™d cry for him, with him, and always pray the best for him. Heโ€™s at rest now and I still pray for him. I cry everyday for him. And I still tell God Iโ€™m set for life with him. Long live my love forever and ever on ๐Ÿ’˜
