First Time For Everything Lyrics
I’m standing in the place we met
Heart shakes, and then I sweat
It’s so hard to see that it’s all over
What did I do to make this end?
And could I really be your friend?
I can barely just pretend it’s over
I’m standing in the place we first kissed
There’s so much I miss
This I can’t resist cause I’m all over
Where we took our first photograph,
And where I first held your hand and laughed
Awkward moments like that have passed, it’s over
(bridge)
You’re fine and I believe it
I’m something you never needed
I can’t say the same for you
(chorus)
But there’s a first time for everything
And I’ll fall in love again
When I begin my second time around
It’s the last time I’ll think of you
You can do what you’d like to do
But if you only knew I’m never coming back
I’m standing in the place we first said goodbye
I don’t know why, I so relied on you for my smile
I laid happiness in your hands
And I don’t really understand
The cost was more than I could stand
It was miles wide
(bridge)
(chorus)
(bridge)
(chorus x 2)
Heart shakes, and then I sweat
It’s so hard to see that it’s all over
And could I really be your friend?
I can barely just pretend it’s over
There’s so much I miss
This I can’t resist cause I’m all over
Where we took our first photograph,
And where I first held your hand and laughed
Awkward moments like that have passed, it’s over
You’re fine and I believe it
I’m something you never needed
I can’t say the same for you
But there’s a first time for everything
And I’ll fall in love again
When I begin my second time around
It’s the last time I’ll think of you
You can do what you’d like to do
But if you only knew I’m never coming back
I don’t know why, I so relied on you for my smile
I laid happiness in your hands
And I don’t really understand
The cost was more than I could stand
It was miles wide
(chorus)

It's about losing a love, being broken up with, and feeling like he bears the burden of all the hurt. He gets nostalgic, revisiting old places trying to let the fact that it's over sink in. He's ready to cut this person out of his life because now he can only associate this person with not being his first love, but first heartbreak.
