Let's Do Everything for the First Time Forever
Eternal Firsts: A Love Story in Of Montreal's Melody
Lyrics
Will you kiss me again so I can pretend we're kissing for the first time
Request to kiss again to recreate the feeling of a first kiss.
Because when we kissed for the first time I was distracted.
Expressing distraction during the actual first kiss.
I couldn't believe it was true that I was truly really finally kissing you.
Disbelief turned into joy about finally kissing the person.
Will you hug me again so I can pretend we're embracing for the first time.
Asking for a hug to relive the experience of a first embrace.
Cause when you held me for the first time I lost my senses.
Feeling overwhelmed during the initial embrace.
I couldn't believe it was real
Expressing disbelief about the reality of the moment.
Inside I was laughing and dancing like peppermint eels
Feeling joyous and carefree internally, likened to dancing peppermint eels.
You are a miracle like Madeline Meech
Comparing the person to a miracle, referencing Madeline Meech.
Consoling moaning stallions on the beach.
Describing the person's comforting nature, using a poetic scenario.
While they choke up foam for the tide
Imagery of stallions on a beach creating foam for the tide, metaphorical and surreal.
May we dance again so I can pretend we're dancing for the first time
Expressing a desire to dance again to relive the first dance experience.
Because when we danced for the first time I was so nervous.
Nervousness experienced during the initial dance.
I could hardly stay on my feet.
Difficulty staying on feet during the dance, implying strong emotions.
My felicity must not have been very discreet.
Suggesting that happiness was evident but perhaps not discreetly shown.
Will you give me your hand so I can pretend I'm holding it for the first time?
Request to hold hands again to recreate the feeling of a first touch.
Let's do everything for the first time forever.
Advocating for experiencing everything as if it's the first time, perpetually.
And if forever you are my friend I'll never ever feel unhappy again
If the person remains a friend forever, the speaker expects continuous happiness.
You are a miracle like Hanze Cercheek transposing scores
Comparing the person to a miracle, referencing Hanze Cercheek and Satie.
By Satie on the beak of an inimical red breasted lark
Using vivid imagery involving a red-breasted lark to emphasize the miraculous nature.
