Songtext The first time Boys Like Girls

The first time

Can you believe it
It’s been almost ten years now
And I’m getting that feeling
As we’re driving around this town
Passing by the old school yard
Everything just looks so small
Before the drums and the guitars
Way back when we knew it all
And she’s sitting right next to me her hand in the wind
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah, it’s crazy
Crazy but it’s true

[Refrain]
That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
It’s so good to see you my old friend
It’s good to see you again

Can you believe it
How much everything has changed?
Well they shut down the old diner
And they put in some new chain
You know it’s so good to see you
Man your hair had got so long
It feels like it’s been forever
Used to sing you that old song

With you sitting right next to me, your hand in the wind
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah, it’s crazy
Crazy but it’s true

[Refrain]
That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
It’s so good to see you my old friend

Well you know they say that growing up is hard
It’s so hard to think of how we almost got so far
Do you remember on the night of our first kiss ?
Baby didn’t it feel just a little bit like this

With you sitting right next to me, your hand in the wind
In that old white Cherokee I grew up in
Yeah, it’s crazy
Crazy ‘cause it’s true

[Refrain]
That you never get a second chance at the first time
We will never be eighteen again
No you never get a second chance at the first time
It’s so good to see you my old friend
It’s good to see you again (x2)
Good to see you again (x2)
It’s good to see you again
Good to see you again
