Description
Sometimes life generously gives you a dose of everything at once - emotions, adventures, substances, and even revelations in the morning. And all of this seems impressive, but then it turns out that none of it compares to that one moment - the moment when the spark first ignites. Warm, crazy, unbelievably real.
The song is like an echo of that flash: a little madness, a little pain, and a lot of light that blinds your eyes, but you don't want to leave. The world may be huge, but sometimes it all fits into a brief glance, a kiss, a first meeting, after which everything else becomes just a pale copy.
Lyrics and translation
Original
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
The first time we met
There's nothing like the first time, the first time we met
