First love
Nice Guys Finish First Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

On valentine's day we saw 50 first dates
Man.. we used to hang out all the time
What ever happened to that?
What ever happened?

Well... i guess eighth grade really wasn't
The time to be having such
Serious relationships
Man... i should of known

But now, every time i
See you, i think of then and
I wonder what things might have been like
Hadn't i gone and broke of this
Relationship with you
Would we still be together?
Hmm... well... probably not
But anyway

You still remain
My first love in my brain and
You'll stay there forever and
Possibly some time after that

You were my first love
The girl i'd always dreamed of
Every day i loved
Holding your hand,
And being your man
Even though we were only
Twelve years old

First love
Everybody dreams of
You were mine and
I'd smile all the time
When you were on my mind
I can't beleive
That was so many years ago

After two days your friends could not believe it was true
So they decided to
Give a present to me and you
Lollipops came inside their letters
Both identical
It all seemed so magical

I even remember our first kiss
Met at the flagpole
To administer one peck on the lips
Couldn't have been much more of a dork
But i loved you of course
Oh yeah i loved you of course

That's all that mattered
Way back then
Nothing superficial
Just two innocent kids
Both in love
As it was meant to be
You and me
For eternity

As it turns out
Middle school just isnt the time
To be making plans
For the rest of your life
I guess i found that out the hard way didn't i
Oh didn't i
Uh-oh didn't i

So when we broke up
I'll admit
It was the right time
9 monts was quite the long run
And now i'd say that were pretty good friends
Im glad that our friendship didn't come to an end

You were my first love
The girl i'd always dreamed of
Every day i loved
Holding your hand,
And being your man
Even though we were only
Twelve years old

First love
Everybody dreams of
You were mine and
I'd smile all the time
When you were on my mind
I can't beleive
That was so many years ago

First love
Everybody dreams of
You were mine and
I'd smile all the time
When you were on my mind
I can't beleive
That was so many years ago
