First Time Lyrics – Kygo ft. Ellie Goulding
First Time Lyrics
[Verse 1: Ellie Goulding]
We were lovers for the first time
Running all the red lights
The middle finger was our peace sign, yeah
We were sipping on emotions
Smoking and inhaling every moment
It was reckless and we owned it, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
We were high and we were sober
We were on and we were over
We were young and now I'm older
But I'd do it all again
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
Getting drunk on a train track
Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes (Oh)
Ten dollars was a fat stack
I'd do it all again (Oh)
Bomber jacket and a snapback
Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach (Oh)
"Re: Stacks" on the playback
I'd do it all again (Oh)
[Verse 2: Ellie Goulding]
We were lovers on a wild ride
Speeding for the finish line
Come until the end of our time, yeah
Started off as a wildfire
Burning down the bridges to our empire
Our love was something they could admire, yeah, yeah
[Pre-Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
We were high and we were sober
We were on and we were over
We were young and now I'm older
But I'd do it all again
[Chorus: Ellie Goulding]
Getting drunk on a train track
Way back, when we tried our first cigarettes (Oh)
Ten dollars was a fat stack
I'd do it all again (Oh)
Bomber jacket and a snapback
Your dad's black Honda was a Maybach (Oh)
"Re: Stacks" on the playback
I'd do it all again (Oh)
[Outro: Ellie Goulding]
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Speed speed, speed speed oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack, oh oh
Stack stack, stack stack
First Time Lyrics Meaning
The lyrics of "First Time" by Kygo featuring Ellie Goulding is about reminiscing on a past relationship filled with excitement, rebellion, and youthful indiscretion. Ellie Goulding reflects on the thrill of being in love for the first time, engaging in reckless behavior, and cherishing those moments despite the consequences. The song captures the nostalgia and sentimentality associated with youthful adventures and the willingness to relive them, even with the wisdom of hindsight.
[Verse 1]
In this verse, Ellie Goulding recalls the early days of the relationship, where she and her partner were immersed in love and rebellion. They disregarded rules (running red lights) and embraced defiance (using the middle finger as a symbol of peace). They indulged in their emotions and lived in the present moment, fully aware of the risks but unafraid to take them.
[Pre-Chorus]
Here, Goulding reflects on the dual nature of their relationship – they experienced highs and lows, moments of intoxication and sobriety, closeness and distance. Despite the passage of time and the maturity that comes with it, she expresses a willingness to relive those moments, acknowledging their significance in shaping her life.
[Chorus]
The chorus paints a vivid picture of their wild escapades, from getting drunk on train tracks to experimenting with cigarettes. The mention of money and material possessions (ten dollars, bomber jacket, snapback, Maybach) serves as nostalgic references to their youthful indulgences. "Re: Stacks" on the playback could be a reference to a Bon Iver song, adding another layer of nostalgia and emotional depth to the memories being recounted.
[Verse 2]
In the second verse, Goulding continues to reminisce about the intensity of their relationship, likening it to a thrilling race towards an uncertain future. Their love was passionate and all-consuming, symbolized by a wildfire that burned down barriers and drew admiration from others. Despite the eventual end, she cherishes the memories and the bond they shared.
[Pre-Chorus]
This pre-chorus reiterates the themes of duality and nostalgia, emphasizing the complexity of their relationship. Goulding acknowledges the passage of time and her own growth but reaffirms her willingness to embrace the past, including its joys and challenges.
[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the sentiment of reliving past experiences without hesitation. The repetition of "I'd do it all again" underscores Goulding's firm conviction in the significance of those memories, regardless of the consequences.
[Outro]
The outro echoes the themes of speed and repetition, perhaps symbolizing the cyclical nature of memories and emotions. The refrain of "stack stack" and "speed speed" adds a rhythmic and hypnotic quality to the song's conclusion, leaving listeners with a lingering sense of nostalgia and longing.
