Never thought that I would actually miss you
Never thought that I’d be dying to kiss you
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Thinking ’bout you really mess with my heartbeat
Never thought that I would cry for somebody
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Saw her on the TV
Had the bleach pink hair with the ripped jeans
And I thought, “What if I could meet her in real life?” (Yeah)
I found out that we shared friends
So she came to the house on the weekend
And what I had in my head happened later that night (Yeah)
All I need is one little memory
To make all these feelings come back up, yeah
Never thought that I would actually miss you
Never thought that I’d be dying to kiss you
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Thinking ’bout you really mess with my heartbeat
Never thought that I would cry for somebody
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Stayed up, late night
We were trying our best to pretend like
That when the party’s done, we’ll go our separate ways
But we knew, yeah, we knew
Pretty soon, it would be only us two
Then after what we did, I’d never be the same (Yeah)
All I need is one little memory (I need, oh)
To make all these feelings come back up, yeah
Never thought that I would actually miss you, no
Never thought that I’d be dying to kiss you
But maybe there’s a first time for everything
Thinking ’bout you really mess with my heartbeat (Mess with my heartbeat)
Never thought that I would cry for somebody (Oh)
But maybe there’s a first time for everything, yeah
Maybe there’s a first time for everything
Discovering New Emotions
“There’s A First Time For Everything” by Charlie Puth captures the thrill and vulnerability of experiencing unexpected feelings for someone. The lyrics chronicle a journey from curiosity and chance encounters to deep emotional attachment. Puth paints a vivid picture of meeting someone unique—marked by bleach pink hair and ripped jeans—and how that initial spark leads to newfound emotions he never anticipated. The repeated realization that he is missing, longing, and even crying for someone for the first time highlights the transformative power of love and attraction.
Memories That Linger
The song also explores the lasting impact of memories. Even after a fleeting moment, a single memory has the power to reignite buried feelings. Puth’s storytelling coupled with his signature melodic hooks makes the song both relatable and memorable, inviting listeners to reflect on their own “first times” with love and heartbreak.
