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 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

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're going to 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

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

(Ooh) yeah, for the first time

(Ooh) oh, for the first time

(Ooh) yeah, for the first time

We just now got the feeling that we're meeting

(Yeah) for the first time

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby

Oh, these times are hard

Yeah, they're making us crazy

Don't give up on me, baby
