That First Time Feeling

You were standing by the door with your nervous laugh Playing with your keys, trying not to look back I was trying to act cool in my worn out jeans Hard to be lighter than a coke machine First drive, small talk, down a two lane road You were watching out the window, I was glancing over slow Then you smiled at something I can't even name And my whole life shifted, never been the same I didn't know the future, didn't know the plan Just knew my heart said that you're a person man At first I'm feeling like the world stood still Like every wrong turn finally found out 30 years later under kitchen lights at noon Yeah, the hair, the lines, the days change slowly But that first time feeling Never lets go of me Now it's coffee at the counter Kids moved out Groceries list in the same old routes You're in my t-shirt barefoot on the toilet Mumbling to the dog with a sleepy smile There's a million little moments we don't post online Just your head on my shoulder at the end of the grind And still sometimes for no good reason at all You turn around and I'm sixteen at that moment It still flips on all the lights It's first time feeling when you said my name Like the whole wide world got small and sane Like the one good thing I got right In a life full of wrong turns and maybes And I still get that poor when you laugh at me Three years deeper than we meant to be Yeah the days roll on but my heart still knows that first time feeling Never let's go, doesn't matter if you're small towns Big city steel, toes high heels Rough hands pretty when you find that soul You wanna grow old there, cause it's that first time feeling When our eyes first met And it's still right here with every breath I get from a nervous high By a rattling door Dancing in the kitchen on a Tuesday floor Yeah, I still get that spark When you take my hand If love had a proof I could ever show It's that first time feeling I'd never let go So here's to the day that we first began And every day since I'd still choose you again
