The Script - For The First Time (Lyrics)

A song by The Script
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 it god's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah,
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

[x3]
Oooooo

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

But 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,
Shit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
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
[x3]

Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
,Shit 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.., yeah, for the first time
Ooooo.., oh, for the first time,
Yeah for the first time,
(just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time)

[x4]
Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

I heard this song first time when me and my boyfriend was having a hard time. We cried listening this song together. Fast forward six years later we are happiest than we've ever been. Things get better, hang in there :)

We're smiling but we're close to tears. That line tho 💔

Husband and I met in 98. 2013 shit hit the fan hard! It’s been a HELL of a rollercoaster 🎢! Good and bad times. Financially, medically, broken hearts. But neither he or I jumped the mother ship. Almost at the brink of each other slipping out of each other’s arms! It was traumatizing, scary. Thinking of it now gives me the goosebumps. But we made it we love each other so much we had to work through trust issues. And yes you can trust again. Love prevails 🥰🥰. I love my hunny. 20+ years we still get butterflies 🦋 for each other.

I just had a real good relationship with a amazing girl and she left me. Then listening to this song got me through one of the hardest times it just helped me get rid of all my stress and anger. It just goes to show that there are things out there to get rid of all stress and everything that's making you down. Going through half the comments on this video just shows you that your not alone with whatever your going through.

I remember this song came out in 2011. My mom had cancer and I remember hearing this song and trying to imagine her state of mind fighting this cruel sickness. We used to smoke weed to this song and I remember getting high and studying her face to remember it before she was gone forever.

Listened to this on ecstasy with my gf and we both let everything out vented listened and understood each other it was so therapeutic the pill was the spark but this song genuinely was the fuel we cryed smiled hugged and kissed at a time where we became so distant we came together the power of music is incredible and I’ll never forget this song or that moment

[caliblair]

I had this song on repeat when the love of my life was dying in the hospital. Music heals

[kennethbrehm]

This song is magical and the band could never get enough credit for it. It is a perfect picture of something every one of us lives out and its the biggest step to pave the way for the rest of our live.

If you're here because of the pandemic and someone you miss, you're welcome to stay for as long as you need

[thomaspuwein]

"oh these time are hard.
Yeah.they're are making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby"
The script, good artist, they create awsome songs.For the first time is a good song to listen at and it takes me back to the time when i was going through a very hard and challenging situation in my life, especially at this time of covid-19 pandemic.

[purpleme]

Reminds me of the one that got away but comes back once again. The feeling was great, the feeling of "the first time" we hug and confess to each other. It was the best feeling: the comeback 🥰❤️

[nicklord]

took my whole life to figure out what this song meant, ive heard it on the radio for years. hits hard man.

[NayaTillah]

I always hear this on my hard times. When I heard this, the pain comes back

[MZSTARYA]

Me and my husband are young and have been through much! We're still struggling. But I'm so blessed to have someone in my life that often it feels like we're just meeting for the first time ❤️

[jerwinbusabos]

It's hard to forget someone who gave you so much to remember ''''(i really miss you)(Elisa)""

[WillHakks]

This song really hits home for me .. I was supposed to meet the love of my life for the first time ever about 3 weeks ago.
Things are hard at the moment because her family are trying to give her an arranged marriage to a guy from another family of her culture.. We had been best friends for 3 years, playing cod together almost every day and in party chat/discord.
We both confessed our love for each other 2 months ago.
I just hope she gets out of her situation so we can finally be together forever. I will wait a thousand years for her. ❤

A combination of not being able to understand half the words and being fortunate enough to have two parents with decent jobs growing up made me not understand what this song was about when I heard it on the radio. Now I found it again cause someone was randomly playing it at my work, and boy do I get it now.

[arindamchakraborty]

i dont have a stable relationship with anyone though but this song feels like connecting with yourself on different levels. finding yourself would be the best thing one can find in oneself. had listened to this song years ago but thought of commenting now. may all of you have a great life ahead

[yannelayla]

Haven’t heard this song in so long I wish they still made music n songs like this 💕

[brooknimmo]

Im trying to remember where i was at in life when i first heard this song, 10 years ago i was 17 and this song broke my heart but it hits way different now at 27.
