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
