The first time
♫ Family Force 5 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I've been recording them ever since I was seventeen
Push playback then rewind
I see us meeting for the very first time
A mental note of you, you sang my melody
First bar in a lifelong symphony
The prelude to a kiss
Press repeat
Cause I want to see
[Chorus]
The first time that I saw your face
The first time that you spoke my name
The first time that I heard you say
There's a first time with me everyday
The first time that I felt your touch
The first time I couldn't get enough
Another memory, when you first looked at me
I hit pause and then love hit me back
Under attack stopped me in my tracks
There you go again, your eyes gave me a flashback
Remember that time, we stayed up all night
I swear we danced until we saw daylight
Step by step and frame by frame
Slow motion, let me see you again
Press repeat
Cause I have to see
[Chorus]
The first time that I heard you say
There's a first time with me everyday
The first time that I felt your touch
The first time I couldn't get enough
The first time that I heard you say
There's a first time with me everyday
No matter what I do
I won't fast forward anything with you
I know you feel it too
The first time I saw love I was with you
[Chorus]
The first time when we talked all night
Was the first time love made sense in life
The first time that I felt your touch
The first time I couldn't get enough
The first time that I heard you say
There's a first time with me everyday
