Velvet First

[Verse 1] You texted, “come through” And my hands went cold I wore that black dress Like I’d done what I was told You leaned in slow By the front door light My heart in my throat You knew I was not alright [Pre-Chorus] And I laughed too hard At your little jokes You touched my wrist And I forgot my coat One look from you And I lost my line I knew right then You were crossing my mind [Chorus] First time, first time I fell that way First time, first time Couldn’t look away Your name on my tongue Like a sweet mistake First time, first time You made me shake [Verse 2] We moved so close Like we both knew how Your shirt had that smell I still think about now You said my name Like a secret kept I swear I forgot How to even breathe deep [Pre-Chorus] And the room got small When your hand found mine I was all nerves You were all that shine Then you smiled at me And the floor gave way I wanted your kiss More than words could say [Chorus] First time, first time I fell that way First time, first time Couldn’t look away Your name on my tongue Like a sweet mistake First time, first time You made me shake [Bridge] I was brave on paper But not in your arms My whole life changed In a couple of charms One little touch Turned the night to gold Now I know What I never was told [Chorus] First time, first time I fell that way First time, first time Couldn’t look away Your name on my tongue Like a sweet mistake First time, first time You made me shake [Outro] First time Don’t make me wait First time I still replay You and me That night, that place First time On my face
