First Time
Ghost Beach Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I closed my eyes, I was someone else
Nothing was the same
I lay my burden down
I felt my feet on solid ground
I turned my world around
'Cause I'm haunted by the thoughts in my mind
You're the only thing that feels right
So take me tonight for the first time
Some of my darkest days
Were spent on blood and nothing seemed to change
I've only myself to blame
But some of my hearts are spades
And some of my pain won't go away
But I'm learning how to walk away
Baby, I have so much hell in my heart
But I'm getting over
Honey, come back around and let's start again
I need you for the first time
'Cause I'm haunted by the thoughts in my mind
You're the only thing that feels right
So take me tonight for the first time
I need you for the first time
'Cause I'm haunted by the thoughts in my mind
You're the only thing that feels right
So take me tonight for the first time
