I thought my heart had felt it all 00:14

I swam for miles across the ocean 00:22

Never met the shore 00:26

My eyes were closed, my highs were lows 00:29

Just gettin' drunk on pills and potions 00:37

Cravin' something more 00:41

Traveled the world but it got me nowhere 00:44

Nothing could ever compare 00:48

A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry 00:52

And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher 00:55

Than the first time we met 00:59

There's nothing like the first time we met 01:02

I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin' 01:07

And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher 01:10

Than the first time we met 01:14

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met 01:17

That night, the stars aligned, Heaven dropped a line 01:25

Before you, I was just a flare in the sky 01:34

A kid too afraid to go to play in the light 01:38

A colorless painter, a man with no sight 01:41

Before you, I was nothin', was nothin' 01:45

Had nothin', I only had 01:48

A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry 01:50

And all the drugs I've done, they never got me higher 01:53

Than the first time we met 01:57

There's nothing like the first time we met 02:00

I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin' 02:05

And I talked to God, He couldn't get me higher 02:08

Than the first time we met 02:12

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met 02:15

You set the room on fire 02:25

You take the angels higher 02:28

I heard a thousand choirs 02:32

Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet 02:36

Traveled the world, it got me nowhere 02:40

Nothing could ever compare 02:43

A kiss, a touch, a song that made me cry 02:46

The drugs I've done, they never got me higher 02:50

Than the first time we met 02:53

There's nothing like the first time we met 02:56

And when I crashed my car, oh, baby, I was flyin' 03:00

Lyrics:

[English]

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

Traveled the world but it got me nowhere

Nothing could ever compare

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

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

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

You set the room on fire

You take the angels higher

I heard a thousand choirs

Oh, baby, you ain't seen nothing yet

Traveled the world, it got me nowhere

Nothing could ever compare

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

The first time we met

There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met
