The Script - For The First Time
"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 got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is a God's test,
Someone help us cos 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
Sit 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
She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job, but didn't lose my pride
And we both know how
How we are 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
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 got a new job now on the unemployment line
And we don't know how
How we got into this mess is a God's test,
Someone help us cos 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
Sit 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
She's in line at the door with her head held high
While I just lost my job, but didn't lose my pride
And we both know how
How we are 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 are gonna start by drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit 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
Yeah drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
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
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time
Ah these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby"
Sit 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
Yeah drinking old cheap bottles of wine
Sit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
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
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
For the first time
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting
For the first time
Ah these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby"
“For the First Time” is the lead single from Irish pop rock band The Script’s lead album, Science and Faith. It debuted at number one on the Irish Singles Chart and was certified platinum in the United States by the RIAA. Frontman Danny O'Donoghue told the background of this song in an interview on Sydney Radio Station 96.9: “The song ‘For the First Time’ was about a time when we got back after touring around the world. We wanted to press palms with the people who had really gotten us there, and we got home and realised there’s a stark reality out there, the recession, people are losing their jobs and their valuable things, and we thought, it almost pales in comparison to your news. We started the song, and it ended up being a bit bleak and we felt we really needed a great message in these, to turn it around… so we needed a message of hope, as people are being stripped of all these things they’re realizing what’s really important. It’s all about going back to basics: drinking cheap wine, eating your dinner off the floor. That’s when you meet each other for the first time, when you have nothing.”
