First Love
Prettyboys Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cause i’ve been missing you
Since the day i met you
And it breaks my heart
Everyday I’m not with you
And i’ve been driving to your house
Hoping you’ll let me in
And i’ll be looking at my phone
Hoping you’ll hit me up

I’ve been smoking cigarettes on cigarettes
I’ll be waiting for your call i’m desperate
I’ve been smoking cigarettes on cigarettes
I’ll be waiting for your call i’m desperate
You’re the one that makes me wanna stay
Long gone but you’ll catch me in your Chevrolet, uh
Fish filet all night long
Catch me whipping all night with my eyes closed, yeah
Red car, black tint up windows
With the night glow, 2 seats one talk, with the same goal
One night, one time with the same roses
You we’re laying on my lap, i was playing with your hair
You would ask me what i’m thinking, but you never ever cared
Never ever cared (yeah you)
Never ever cared
I’m gone but you’re never all alone
You got mans all of your own
You got bands that i don’t own
Why would you need me in your home
Cause i’ve been missing you
Since the day i met you
And it breaks my heart
Everyday I’m not with you
And i’ve been driving to your house
Hoping you’ll let me in
And i’ll be, looking at my phone
Hoping you’ll hit me up
I’ve been smoking cigarettes on cigarettes
I’ll be waiting for your call i’m desperate
I’ve been smoking cigarettes on cigarettes
I’ll be waiting for your call i’m desperate
I got them 808’s,
Gotta fade away, from you
I’ll make you cry again
Gotta stay away, from you
If i break your heart again, i’ll stand away
If you see another guy, i’ll sail away
I’ll sail away i swear
I’ll sail away i swear
I’ll sail away
I’ll sail away i swear
I’ll fly away
Cause i’ve been missing you
Since the day i met you
And it breaks my heart
Everyday I’m not with you
And i’ve been driving to your house
Hoping you’ll let me in
And i’ll be looking at my phone
Hoping you’ll hit me up
I’ve been smoking cigarettes on cigarettes
I’ll be waiting for your call i’m desperate

I’ve been smoking cigarettes on cigarettes
I’ll be waiting for your call i’m desperate

You’re the one that makes me wanna stay
You’re the reason I want to stick around

Long gone but you’ll catch me in your Chevrolet, uh
Although I’ve been gone, you’ll find me in your Chevy car

Fish filet all night long
Partying and having fun all night

Catch me whipping all night with my eyes closed, yeah
You’ll find me driving with my eyes closed all night

Red car, black tint up windows
My car has red color with black tinted windows

With the night glow, 2 seats one talk, with the same goal
With the help of neon lighting, two people sit and talk heart-to-heart with the same objective

One night, one time with the same roses
Sharing a night and a moment, holding the same flowers

You we’re laying on my lap, i was playing with your hair
You were lying on my lap while I played with your hair

You would ask me what i’m thinking, but you never ever cared
You asked me what was on my mind, but you were never really interested

Never ever cared (yeah you)
You never really cared (that’s what you were like)

I’m gone but you’re never all alone
I might have left, but you always have people around you

You got mans all of your own
You have other men in your life

You got bands that i don’t own
You have wealth that I don’t have

Why would you need me in your home
Why would you want me to come over to your place?

I got them 808’s,
I have those bass-heavy beats

Gotta fade away, from you
I need to disappear from your life

I’ll make you cry again
I’ll end up hurting you again

Gotta stay away, from you
I need to stay away from you
