When We First Met

awww, this song is so cute. I love the way it's got a feel-good feeling to it and makes me want to dance but still maintains the subtleness of a meaningful love song.

I'm not sure if that makes much sense, but anyway, I love this song!

"when we first met chelseas hair was long. around the time we toured australia the first time, she cut it short."

Really digging the new direction they are going in. This song is obviously about the growth of their love, and just judging by a lot of songs off of ZAVD, Chelsea is really his biggest inspiration for most of his songs. How awesome must that make her feel?

I just have a few minor corrections that I hear more than your version:

And our LOVE grows on As our hair grows long.

Oh Chelsea Lynn, I watched your hair grow from the root to tip I know, I know as I always have known, And I always will know Oh, oh That I could have A single of accidents oh, I am dead (not quite sure about this line either, but I hear the word "accidents" in there...) I'll go, I'll go as I always have gone, and And I will always go

I think the lyrics are correct. The only thing I'm not sure about is if he says "nearer" or "near her." Not a big deal really.

Oh yeah, this song is amazing!!!! I made the mistake of waiting for it to go up on AP.net before I left for work. I managed to get a couple more listens in at lunch, but this song was stuck in my head the whole day. That's a good thing though, I was humming and smiling all day. :)

I like their new sound...it's unique and still very Hellogoodbye [:

Such a cute song about how love grows <3

I really love this song. Makes me feel a little heartsick.

"I really love this song. Makes me feel a little heartsick."

^ I second that!

Here are the lyrics from the CD insert :)

When we first met Your hair was long and brown you hadn't yet cut it all off and now it's long once again oh it's long once again

As I kept track of every hair cut we ever had i could see how long it had been oh how long it had been

This thought made it clearer that I ought to be nearer

all I see is where our days repeat and love goes on as our hair grows long

Oh Chelsea Lynn I've watched your hair grow From root to tip I know, I know As i always have known And I always will know That I could head a single direction Till I am dead I go, I go as I always have gone And I always will go

Like most hellogoodbye songs, this is about longterm relationships. He enjoys watching his partner change through the years

I definitely think this song is a metaphor about the emotional baggage that develops throughout a relationship.

"When we first met Your hair was long and brown You hadn't yet cut it all off"

Here he's talking about baggage from a past relationship the girl had before they met, then they got into a relationship and it's long once again. He then goes on to talk about haircuts, which could probably talking about problems within the relationship which kind of lifts the burden of them

Then throughout the song he talks about seeing the girls hair grow long as the days grew on, which is just all the problems and such that goes on throughout a relationship but he really loves this girl because he sees they can talk about it and get haircuts and whatnot haha.

Just the way I see it :p
