First Love

I've heard addicts spend their life chasing the feeling of their first high But it's something they'll never find And I wish I couldn't relate But nothing's close to that first date And the first kiss and first touch No nothing's quite like the first love You made me into a lovebird Then you turned me into a has been Cause I'll always want what we once were But I'll never be able to have it Living in highlight reels Just to feel like when we were young Cause nothing's quite like the first love In a shoebox under my bed Are pictures and notes that I've read So much their tattooed in my head I often forget that you exist outside Of these moments and you're still alive Out there somewhere with another bride I've tried to find another But no one's enough Cause nothing's quite like the first love You made me into a lovebird Then turned me into a has been Cause I'll always want what we once were But I'll never be able to have it Living in highlight reels Just to feel like when we were young Cause nothing's quite like the first love Now I spend my days cursing my former self For always reaching for the higher shelf Cause there was nothing above The late night drives looping around our small town We stumbled upon a feeling it seemed like no one else had ever found Holding hands through the halls All the eight hour calls Felt like your mom was my in-law Now we haven't spoken in years Part of me disappeared And I became my biggest fear You made me into a lovebird Then turned me into a has been Cause I'll always want what we once were But I'll never be able to have it Living in highlight reels Just to feel like when we were young Cause nothing's quite like the first love
