Lyrics
[Verse 1]
We were kids in our Sunday shoes
Holding hands behind the schoolyard fence
You drew hearts on my faded jeans
Said
“This is it
This is permanent”
You kissed me in your daddy’s car
Windows fogged
We were breathing stars
You swore you’d stay
I swore I’d never leave
Funny how forever can get up and leave
[Chorus]
You were my first flame
Burning up the dark
Carved your name deep in my foolish heart
Thought that first love meant forever
Now I’m tangled in the never-ever
I still taste August on my lips
But you’re a ghost in every kiss
First flame
Last forever
In the ashes of this heartbreak
I remember
[Verse 2]
We made plans in a diner booth
Curled fries
Empty coffee cups and dreams
You talked big about other towns
I just prayed you’d still want me
Then one night your voice went cold
Said
“I’m sorry
But I have to go”
You left your sweater on my bedroom chair
Smelled like you for months
Like you were still there
[Chorus]
You were my first flame
Burning up the dark
Carved your name deep in my foolish heart
Thought that first love meant forever
Now I’m tangled in the never-ever
I still taste August on my lips
But you’re a ghost in every kiss
First flame
Last forever
In the ashes of this heartbreak
I remember
[Bridge]
Tell me
Did it hurt you too
Or did you just walk away brand new
’Cause every song
Every crowded room
I’m still seventeen
Still finding you (oh)
[Chorus]
You were my first flame
Burning up the dark
Carved your name deep in my foolish heart
Thought that first love meant forever
I’m still learning how to live past never
I still taste August on my lips
You’re the wound that somehow heals me yet
First flame
Last forever
Yeah
The first to break my heart
And the love I won’t forget
