The First Time Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I thought my heart had felt it all
I swam for miles across the ocean
Never met the shore
My eyes were closed, my highs were lows
Just gettin’ drunk on pills and potions
Cravin’ something more

[Pre-Chorus]
Traveled the world but it got me nowhere
Nothing could ever compare

[Chorus]
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
And all the drugs I’ve done, they never got me higher
Than the first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time we met
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin’
And I talked to God, He couldn’t get me higher
Than the first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time, the first time we met

[Verse 2]
That night, the stars aligned, Heaven dropped a line
Before you I was just a flare in the sky
A kid too afraid to go to play in the light
A colorless painter, a man with no sight
Before you I was nothin’, was nothin’
Had nothin’, I only had

[Chorus]
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
And all the drugs I’ve done, they never got me higher
Than the first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time we met
I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin’
And I talked to God, He couldn’t get me higher
Than the first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time, the first time we met

[Bridge]
You set the room on fire
You take the angels higher
I heard a thousand choirs
Oh, baby, you ain’t seen nothing yet

[Pre-Chorus]
Traveled the world but it got me nowhere
Nothing could ever compare

[Chorus]
A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry
The drugs I’ve done, they never got me higher
Than the first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time we met
And when I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin’
And I talked to God, He couldn’t get me higher
Than the first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time, the first time we met

[Outro]
The first time we met
The first time we met
There’s nothing like the first time, the first time we met

The First Time Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
Damiano opens the song with a tone of weary introspection, describing a life filled with emotional detachment and substance use in search of meaning. His metaphor of swimming across an ocean without reaching shore conveys a sense of emotional exhaustion and longing. The imagery of closed eyes and chemical escapes underlines his previous numbness and hunger for something real.

[Pre-Chorus]
In this short but pivotal section, Damiano reflects on the futility of his past pursuits. Despite having traveled the world, he confesses that none of it led to fulfillment. This sets up the emotional contrast that defines the chorus—highlighting how one person changed everything.

[Chorus]
The chorus is a powerful emotional climax, where Damiano compares the first meeting with a loved one to experiences that are typically described as euphoric—drugs, near-death moments, and spiritual encounters. None of those, he insists, compare to the feeling of that first connection. The repetition reinforces its irreplaceable impact, portraying love not just as emotional but almost metaphysical.

[Verse 2]
This verse deepens the emotional narrative, describing how Damiano felt incomplete or insignificant before this encounter. He uses poetic imagery—stars aligning, Heaven intervening, being a colorless painter—to convey how love brought him into emotional and creative focus. Before this person, he felt lost and afraid, but their presence gave him a sense of identity and purpose.

[Chorus]
Revisiting the chorus amplifies the depth of Damiano’s realization. By repeating the metaphors—crashing his car, talking to God, and still not feeling as elevated as that first meeting—he reinforces the gravity and singular nature of the emotional impact. Each line underscores how profound and unique that moment was to him.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, Damiano elevates his muse to a divine level, describing her presence as so powerful it ignites the room and lifts angels higher. The reference to a thousand choirs suggests that the feeling she evokes is nothing short of celestial. His declaration that “you ain’t seen nothing yet” implies that the emotional journey is far from over.

[Pre-Chorus]
Reintroducing this section strengthens the message that external experiences cannot compare to what he found in that first moment of love. Damiano uses it to reconnect the listener with the emotional disillusionment he overcame.

[Chorus]
The final chorus brings the emotional arc full circle. He reinforces that even peak spiritual moments or life-threatening adrenaline rushes are nothing compared to that initial emotional high. Damiano’s voice becomes a vessel of longing and gratitude, cherishing the memory while acknowledging its unmatched impact.

[Outro]
The outro serves as a gentle echo of the song’s central message. By repeating the phrase “the first time we met,” Damiano leaves the listener suspended in the memory, emphasizing how that single moment of connection has stayed with him, untouched by time or comparison.
