My First Love
Keke Wyatt Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Silhouettes of a perfect frame
Shadows of your smile will always remain (always remain)
Beginners luck soon fades away, oh baby
We go on, I'll always say

(Long as I live) Long as I live, you will be my
(My first love) oh baby, you and only you
(Long as I live) Long as I live
(My first love) you will be my first love
And I'd choose you again

I'll keep an old candy coated Valentine
Memories of you, you when you were mine
A tarnished ring on a tarnished chain
Times keep changing
Come sun or rain, yeah

(Long as I live) Long as I live, you will be
(My first love) my first love and my only love
(Long as I live) Long as I live
(My first love) you will always be my, only my first love
(Long as I live) Long as I live
(My first love) you will always be my first love
And I'd choose you again

Oh
Oh
A tarnished ring, on a tarnished chain, oh
Times keep changing come sun or rain, yeah

(Long as I live) Long as I live, baby yeah you will always be
(My first love) I'll always love you baby, my first love
(Long as I live) for the rest of my life you will always be
(My first love) only, oh yeah




(Long as I live) oh yeah
(My first love) oh oh

โ€œ LONG AS I LIVE YOU WILL BE MY FIRST LOVEโ€ TO ME IS THAT MOMENT WHEN YOU REALIZE WHAT LOVE IS REALLY ABOUT AND HOW DIFFERENT IT IS FROM JUST BEING INVOLVED WITH SOMEONE.

ITS THE MOMENT YOU REALIZE THAT SPECIAL SOMEONE WHO STAYS ON YOUR MIND, THE ONE YOU JUST CANT STOP THINKING ABOUT, THE ONE THAT YOU REALIZE IF YOU HAD YOUR WAY YOU JUST DONโ€™T WANT TO LIVE WITHOUT .


WHEN I THINK ABOUT MY FIRST LOVE , I THINK ABOUT HOW I FEEL WHEN TIME AND TIME AGAIN WHEN WE KISS , AFTER ALL THE YEARS THAT HAS GONE BY, โ€œ IT FEELS LIKE THE VERY FIRST TIMEโ€ AND MORE.
THAT LOVE THAT KEEPS ON GETTING BETTER IN EVERY SENSE OF THE WORD.

THE CHOICE TO ME WAS ALREADY MADE IT WAS JUST A MATTER OF THINGS COMING TOGETHER AT THE RIGHT TIME. GIVING ONE ANOTHER TIME TO GROW TO A HIGHER LEVEL AND RID ONES SYSTEM OF THINGS THAT NEEDED TO BE DEALT WITH SO ALL DOUBTS HAD A CHANCE TO BE REMOVED.


โ€œ WHAT I NEED FROM YOU IS UNDERSTANDING โ€œ IS A SONG THAT PLAYS IN MY HEAD EVERY TIME A SPAT OCCURS.
I JUST SAY TO MYSELF , โ€œ IF ONLY YOU KNEW? โ€œ LITTLE SMALL THINGS THAT YOU WISH YOU HAD JUST BEEN SILENT AND SAID NOTHING, BUT AT THE SAME TIME , WANTING TO EXPRESS YOURSELF AND SAY โ€œ I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH I LOVE YOU AND I DONโ€™ T WANNA FIGHT WITH YOU, I JUST NEED YOU TO KNOW HOW MUCH YOU MEAN TO ME AND I DONโ€™T WANT TO PLAY HOUSE, I WANT TO BUILD A HOME WITH YOU.

LIFE IS TO SHORT AND FOR WHATEVER TIME THERE IS, SPENDING IT SHARING THE LOVE YOU HAVE INSIDE THAT YOU KNOW IS STRONG ENOUGH TO KEEP A SMILE ON SOMEONES FACE WHOโ€™S ON THE SAME LEVEL/PAGE, IS WORTH IT ALL. STRONG ENOUGH TO GO โ€œTHROUGH THE FIRE โ€œAND โ€œMAKE IT LAST FOREVER โ€œ

SEEING YOUR PAST MISTAKES AND GRATEFUL FOR THE CHANCE TO MAKE IT BETTER, TO SHOW JUST HOW DEEP THE LOVE GOES AND JUST HOW REAL IT HAS BEEN, TALK ABOUT A FIRE THAT WONโ€™ T GO OUT . WHEN YOU HAVE FELT SO MANY TIMES ITS BEST TO JUST MOVE ON, THEN SOMETHING HAPPENS AND ALL THOSE FEELINGS ARE STIRRED UP AGAIN AND ALL YOU WANT TO DO IS BE IN THE ARMS OF THAT LOVE .

(THERE IS A BIG DIFFERENCE BETWEEN LOVE AND A CRUSH... NOTHING CONFUSING BETWEEN THE TWO , BABY I KNEW IT WAS LOVE FROM THE MOMENT I DANCED WITH YOU)
