Watsky - Nothing Like The First Time lyrics

The first time I ate avocado was
So amazing that I came

And that was the first time that I
Came so the only thing I
Could compare it to is the taste
Of avocado almost the same

The first time I got high
I ran into my friend’s bedroom and I hung
Onto each corner of the mattress because
I knew that I would be flung into
Space if I didn’t hold tight

Two years before that I went
To my first concert
I was high all night and the first
Time someone clapped for me
On stage I floated
Three inches off the pavement walking home



Only one girl has ever really
Wrapped my stomach into pretzels
She didn’t give me butterflies
She gave me pterodactyls
I’m talking terrible internal bruising and
The first time I kissed
Her was like the first time I saw fireworks
Which was like the sky first
Kissing me in the eyeballs
In high school the self-defense
Counselor taught us
That to defend ourselves against a rapist
By sticking a thumb into the
Corner of his eye
Socket and popping it out like a grape
Babe, for the chance to be with you, I
Would pop my own eyeballs out and say
"Here i only have eyes for you"
So everywhere you went you’d carry me around
In your pocket and every time
You pulled out a handful of loose
Change I’d get to wink at
You and a thousand miles away you would
Think of how charming I am
Me weaving blindly through LA traffic you
In some bullshit other place

But, you shouldn’t leave first times
Until the end of summer
Because you went off to
College, years passed
And I realized I was the
Only one calling anymore
And that first kiss hardened into the
Last my love: retarded, preserved, a
Pterodactyl in a tar pit, the
Music over before it started
A lost guitar pick
I’ve stopped trying to match it
Searching for that magical attachment

Because marriages are not fucking Disney
Bad marriages are sandcastles
Good marriages are McDonald’s hamburgers
You can leave a good marriage on
A plate in the sun
For fifty years and it stays
Pretty much the same

They key, I hear
Is to fight routine to make the
Smallest moments gleam and mean something

And if you ever feel yourself fading
Face paint your old and aging creased-up
Cheeks gold-plated with a jar
Of first-time and if you need
A youthful spruce-up just grab
A tube of that newb juice and lube up and if
You’re hurting just rub the good
Stuff where you’re burning

But a word of warning
The first time tends to make
The bad times worse there’s the rub
It doesn’t make things better, just louder
It amplifies a murmur er-er
Great is greater greater is
Greaterer and broke
Is broker and bone is boner
It’s not a perfect formula
But the first time that I kissed you, the
Door of your crappy Civic already half-open
You said "I’m glad you did that"
And I have a feeling that, for you
It wasn’t a first-time
It was a "this one time"
But, I will remember that moment for
The rest of my life, even if I have to arm
Wrestle Alzheimer's for it

And if I ever get a chance to kiss
You again, you know, a second time
I'm gonna
Stick my tongue out and lick you right across
Your face because I’ve already
Kissed you but, i never licked you
And you’ll say, "Ugh why did you
Do that?" And I’ll say
"Hey sexy did someone slap you
Across the face with a
Banana slug or is that a big shiny trail of
First-time on your cheek maybe we
Can go back to my place and gets some
First-time on the sheets"

It’s worth it after all
There’s nothing like the first time
The first time’s always perfect
