Times
De-Grees Feat Joy Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Come over to my house jump in the neighbor's pool,
It felt nice, felt so nice
And it was getting dark, you wrapped your long legs around me,
I held on tight
Lying in my bed the unfamiliar sheets felt so cool
On your skin
When your daddy called said you were at a friend's
And we walked the long way home

Going on, my first impression, I recall you wearing white
There was something sweet in the air, babe, that summer night
There will always be another time for us to fall in love
But it never cuts you quite as deep as that first time (Ooh)
You'll find out that the deepest cut is the first time (Ooh)
The first times always cut the deepest

Breathe me with your hands
Show me a safe place and I'll come down, yeah I'll come down
Can you recognize the look upon my face?
It's on my lips, it's in my eyes
This bar will never break, won't you say it one more time
Won't you say my name, won't you say my name
This bar will never break, won't you say, oh one more time
Won't you say, say my name

Going on, my first impression, I recall you wearing white
There was something sweet in the air, babe, that summer night
There will always be another time for us to fall in love
But it never cuts you quite as deep as that first time (Ooh)
You'll find out that the deepest cut is the first time (Ooh)
The first times always cut the deepest

Tadadadadadadada
Tadadadadadadada dadadadada
Tadadada ooh
Tadadadadadadada
Tadadadadadadada dada, ooh

Going on, my first impression, I recall you wearing white
There was something sweet in the air, babe, that summer night
There will always be another time for us to fall in love
But it never cuts you quite as deep as that first time (Ooh)
You'll find out that the deepest cut is the first time (Ooh)
The first times always cut the deepest
The first time (Ooh)
You'll find out that the deepest cut is the first time (Ooh)
The first times always cut the deepest
The first time (Ooh)

You'll find out that the deepest cut is the first time (Ooh)
The first times always cut the deepest
