First Time
Lifehouse Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

The world that I see inside you
Waiting to come to life
Waking me up to dreaming
Reality in your eyes

Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time

We're crashing
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home

I'm feeling alive all over again
As deep as the sky under my skin
Like being in love, she said, for the first time
Maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love to feel for the first time





Like being in love she said for the first time
Like being in love to feel for the first time

[Verse 1]
We're both looking for something
We've been afraid to find
It's easier to be broken
It's easier to hide

[Pre-Chorus]
Looking at you, holding my breath
For once in my life, I'm scared to death
I'm taking a chance, letting you inside

[Chorus]
We're feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scar, under my skin
Like being in love, she says, for the first time
Well, maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love, to feel for the first time

[Verse 2]
The world that I see inside you

[Bridge]
We're crashing into
Into the unknown
We're lost in this
But it feels like home

[Chorus]
Feeling alive all over again
As deep as the scar that's under my skin

Well, maybe I'm wrong, I'm feeling right
Wherever I belong with you tonight
Like being in love, to feel for the first time

14 years later and this song still gets to me 🙏🏽

MrJustACow

Now approaching at 16 years, still going strong!!

Mr. Grapefruit

Every time feels like the first time :)

Heather Blair

I am damn near 50. Two broken marriages. This song is my mantra for me and my man who is going through the same shit. It makes us feel alive 💜

Ron Klein

Lifehouse is one of the tightest bands. Great musicianship, songwriting, and a brilliant frontman in Jason Wade.

Yodi Armand

his voice similar to stereophonic vocalist

Lori Lyman

ABSOLUTELY!!!!

O t

It's the most Romantic band I've ever listened to. It seems he wants and needs that Girl with all his Being, not just his d. in ALL of his songs. It seems a bit too Romantic as such an ideal girl is pretty rare... I think ideally his songs should be remade into religious-themed songs in terms of their lyrics and they would be a hit on a lot of Faith-based radio stations or in places of worship...

Alex Couch

The lead singer sings it so well, that even the look in his eyes, if you look in his eyes, you can feel what he is feeling in the song right in your heart! I love this song!!

Gods Of Beauty

Yeah I guess she's going to be in the same room with her mom now she wants to come over for a little bit of the things that haven't been done yet you need me and I don't have a few things in mind and I'll get you something to put my mind on you too baby girl 💓
