[Verse 1] We were kids in thrift-store shoes Your name in my notebook blue One shy laugh in the back row And my whole chest said, oh no You stole my gum, I stole your time Little hands and borrowed lines I hid your note in my desk Like it could save me from the rest [Pre-Chorus] Now I see it clear The way you leaned in near My heart learned fast How to lose, how to last [Chorus] First love, first love You were my first love First love, first love Still fits like a glove First love, first love You were my first love Even now it hits hard That you were my first love [Verse 2] We grew up, but not too much Still one look could shake my blood Cheap perfume on your hoodie sleeve I acted cool, then I couldn't breathe Parking lot rain on your hair You said my name like a prayer One kiss, then the world went slow And I knew what I didn't know [Pre-Chorus] Now I see it clear The way you stayed so near My heart learned fast How to break, how to ask [Chorus] First love, first love You were my first love First love, first love Still fits like a glove First love, first love You were my first love Even now it hits hard That you were my first love [Bridge] Maybe it wasn't forever Maybe that's why it burned I still keep that little box With the lesson I never unlearned Your hand, my hand That tender little spark It didn't have to last To leave its mark [Final Chorus] First love, first love You were my first love First love, first love Still fits like a glove First love, first love You were my first love Even now it hits hard That you were my first love
