First Love
David A. Line Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You've got that sad look in your eyes
And I can't shake all this confusion
I can't blame whiskey or wine
You look the same but even better
Will you ever age a day in your life
Let's not do a thing to upset her
You've got such a beautiful wife
Stays buried deep inside
First love hits the hardest
I guess I never really said goodbye
I keep wonderin' what would've happened
If we'd met four years down the line
It's been so long since our big end
Has it really been seven years time
First love hits the hardest
Stays buried deep inside
First love hits the hardest
I guess I never really said goodbye
Are we fixating on a fantasy
Bring me back down to reality
Would we throw away every single thing
Just for a taste of that long lost dream
Now I'm leavin' out of Iowa City
Headin' southeast back towards home
Fields of gold stretch out empty
I'm left with our memories to hold
In the song "First Love" by David A. Line, the singer is talking to an old flame whom he has just run into again. He asks her how she's doing and notices that she looks sad. He confesses that he's confused and can't blame alcohol for his current state--he's just overwhelmed by his feelings. He notes that she looks the same as she always has--gorgeous--and he muses that she'll never age. He also comments that he doesn't want to upset her in any way because she has a beautiful wife.
Throughout the song, the singer keeps coming back to the idea that first love hits the hardest and stays with you forever. He admits that he never really said goodbye to this woman, and wonders what would have happened if they had met later on in life. He's fixated on the idea that they might have had a future together if circumstances had been different. However, he also questions whether their fantasy is worth giving up everything in their current lives.
The song ends with the singer leaving Iowa City and heading back towards home. He notes that the fields are empty, but he's left with his memories of this woman--and presumably the hope that he'll see her again someday.
Overall, "First Love" is a poignant reflection on the power of first love and the lingering effects it can have on a person's life. Even after years have passed, the emotions associated with that initial connection can be intense and all-consuming.

Now I'm leavin' out of Iowa City
Leaving a specific location
Headin' southeast back towards home
Returning to their place of residence
Fields of gold stretch out empty
Observing the landscape
I'm left with our memories to hold
Reflecting on the past and the memories they share

Shirleyni Jayakody
If oceans were filled with ink
And the sky were a blank page
Still I would run out of space
To tell of all this love
Chorus
Forever will never be long enough
To come to the end of an endless love
I pour out my songs like the oil from the widow’s jar
It’ll never run dry (second time only)
Verse 2
If every leaf on the trees
Were the notes of a symphony
Than every season would bring
New songs the wind would sing
Bridge
All the way back, all the way back, all the way back
To my first love
I am falling into my first love
Verse 3
I thought I had to be strong
To somehow earn this love
But the truth has been all along
I only have to fall
I wanna fall
First Love Spontaneous
Face to face, there’s nothing separating us
There’s no sin, there’s no shame, all the way back to the Father
Face to face, falling in
I surrender all again
I fall back into Your arms
I feel Your heart beating against me
Face to face, there’s no space between us
Through the blood, through the water, through the grace
I come back to the Father
Through the blood, through the water, I’m born again, I’m falling in
Everything I lost in the garden, I find again in the Father
Everything I gave away, grace returns to me today

so inspiring, so many emotions. i'm Jewish - it doesn't matter. there is a love that connects us all.
I thought I had to be strong
To somehow earn this love
And the truth has been all along
I only have to fall
I wanna fall
Thank you.

I really wish that there was a REPEAT option, I honestly don't know how many times I've replayed this song...
"Face to face, there’s nothing separating us
There’s no sin, there’s no shame, all the way back to the Father
Face to face, falling in
I surrender all again
I fall back into Your arms
I feel Your heart beating against me
Face to face, there’s no space between us
Through the blood, through the water, through the grace
I come back to the Father
Through the blood, through the water, I’m born again, I’m falling in
Everything I lost in the garden, I find again in the Father
Everything I gave away, grace returns to me today''

Primeiro amor
Se oceanos foram preenchidos com tinta
E o céu era uma página em branco
Ainda assim, eu iria ficar sem espaço
Para dizer de todo esse amor
Para sempre nunca será tempo suficiente
Para chegar ao fim de um amor sem fim
Eu derramarei o meu canções como o óleo do frasco da viúva
Ele nunca vai ficar (apenas a segunda vez) seco
Se todas as folhas nas árvores
Foram as notas de uma sinfonia
Do que cada estação traria
Novas músicas o vento iria cantar
Todo o caminho de volta, todo o caminho de volta, todo o caminho de volta
Para o meu primeiro amor
Eu estou caindo em meu primeiro amor (segunda única vez)
Eu pensei que eu tinha que ser forte
Para alguns como ganhar esse amor
Mas a verdade tem sido ao longo de toda
Eu só tenho a cair
Eu quero cair
Espontâneo
Cara a cara, não há nada que nos separa
Não há pecado, não há nenhuma vergonha
Todo o caminho de volta ao Pai
Cara a cara, caindo no
Eu entrego tudo de novo
Eu cair de volta em seus braços
Eu sinto seu coração batendo contra mim
Cara a cara, não há nenhum espaço entre nós
Através do sangue, através da água, através da graça
Eu volto para o Pai
Através do sangue, através da água
Eu nasci de novo, eu estou caindo no
Tudo o que eu perdi no jardim
I encontrar novamente no Pai
Tudo que eu dei afastado
Graça retorna para mim hoje

Jesus loves you so much!! Turn to Jesus while it is still day, for today is the day of salvation. There is so much more to Jesus than religion, He is the Father you have been searching for your whole life. He is coming back soon, please repent He is returning back soon💕
