FIRST MET
Music and lyrics
By Michelle Macedo

When we first met
I couldn’t stop smiling
The stars were aligning
I couldn’t help myself
That first day I kept trying to hide my face
What a fool I must have looked so complacent

That first week I forgot to sleep
I had never been so scared or relieved
I didn’t know what it was to be believed in
I was just trying to break even
to break even

CHORUS
There’s not a time or place
I can’t remember your face
I can’t remember your face
In my memory
That is all I see, That is all I see
& it scares me to believe
It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now
It scares me to believe, It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now

Verse:
Palms were sweaty in the rain
As if I needed extra pain
It was goodbye for the first time
I traveled the world
and thought of you the whole way through
I’ve never felt so safe and at the same time so displaced

I didn’t know what love felt like
To take me as I was that night
I showed up at your door in the rain
You told me all your secrets in that tiny room in Boston
and I told you I was lost then and in pain

CHORUS
There’s not a time or place
I can’t remember your face
I can’t remember your face
In my memory
That is all I see, That is all I see
& it scares me to believe
It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now
It scared me to believe, It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now

Verse:
You brought me to your hometown
I guess I’ll tell you this now
At the time I made myself a vow
That I’d come back again someday
But next time it would be to stay
I guess I hold that hope even now

You were tired of my disguise
I don’t blame you I despise myself

I wish you’d been a better man
& grown up more than you can
You had the chance to hurt me and you took my heart and ran

CHORUS
There’s not a time or place
I can’t remember your face
I can’t remember your face
In my memory
That is all I see, That is all I see
& it scares me to believe
It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now
It scared me to believe, It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now

BRIDGE:
The truth is I’d rather drag myself through the dirt than keep
waiting around to watch you get hurt
Once again you become the one I defend
In the hopes of reliving that moment again

CHORUS
There’s not a time or place
I can’t remember your face
I can’t remember your face
In my memory
That is all I see, That is all I see
& it scares me to believe
It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now
It scared me to believe, It scares me to believe
What would you think of me now
