First Girl To Love Me

Written by Marielle Kraft, Dana Marie Rogers, and Mckenna Flaherty

[Verse 1]
Diary entries
I didn’t write them
Too scared to put you on paper
I always pictured
Love with limits
Till you came and built a skyscraper

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Kissing in my bedroom felt so safe
Never needed anyone that way
It was the first time I was up high
A brand new fear of heights

[Chorus 1]
You met me on the ground
And held my hand the whole way down
Saw me before I did
And walked me through the worst of it
You could’ve shut the door
Could’ve cut me off
Nobody else would’ve stayed that long
And that’s why I feel lucky
You were the first girl to love me

[Verse 2]
In crowded basements
I kept my distance
But danced with you up in the hallways
When I went back home
I couldn’t call you
And you handled all of it gently

[Pre-Chorus 2]
I built a fortress of red tape
You didn’t pressure me to change
You let me take time, stayed by my side
Never felt that kind of grace

[Chorus 2]
You met me on the ground
And held my hand the whole way down
Saw me before I did
And walked me through the worst of it
You could’ve shut the door
Could’ve cut me off
Nobody else would’ve stayed that long
And that’s why I feel lucky
You were the first girl to love me

[Bridge]
You were the girl who gave me hope
For who I could be down the road
I knew we weren’t meant for life
But you loved me at the perfect time
And look at us now, seven years later
We both found who we were made for
I’m asking her to marry me
You’re asking her to marry you
It’s kinda poetic

[Chorus 3]
You met me on the ground
Held my hand the whole way down
Saw me before I did
And walked me through the worst of it
You could’ve shut the door
Could’ve cut me off
Nobody else would’ve stayed that long
That’s why I feel lucky
You were the first girl to love me
That’s why I feel lucky
You were the first girl to love me
