The Script – For The First Time lyrics
She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration,
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard,

She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess is this a gods test?
Someone help us cause we're doing our best (best)
Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while ya
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Oooooo
[Repeat]

She's in line at the dole
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job
But didn't lose my pride
And we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,
Trying to make it work but,
Man these times are hard,

But we're gonna start by,
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while ya,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.

Oooooo
[Repeat]

Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting, for the first time

(Ooooo...), yeahh for the first time,
(Ooooo...), oh for the first time,
(Ooooo...), Yeah for the first time,
(Just now got the feeling that we're meeting... [Yeeeeaaahhh]
For the first time)

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

    Fairly sure this is about the recession and how the world is putting pressures on us all at the moment with all the stress of life. I think we have all felt it and some people are lucky enough to find that one person where they love them so much that despite the world taking its hits at us we will be okay and find the things that matter even amongst the horrendous mess we are currently living in. Beautiful song really touches my heart cause I been there myself.

    The song is about how that making your girlfriend happy ciomes first not work. And that being in usa and not back home hits the girl ahrder than expeceted and the boy doesn't understand his girlfriends needs and realisese the morning when he is running late. This was mine and my fiances song she lived in portsmouth and I live in london and everytime I go back down its like I see her for the first time every time.
