Story Behind The Song
Well, a meltdown occured. It wasn't pleasant. My partner turned to me and said "play with me like it's the first time, like on our first night", and that inspired me to write the song echoing the feeling.

Lyrics
The First Time
Music and Lyrics by Seth Lefferts (ASCAP) c 2005
Play with me like it's the first time, like on our first night,
It's a time when nothing else mattered and anything was right.
Play with me like we've just met, when it was all brand new,
`Cause that's the spirit we used to have
And I'll do anything, anything, to get that back with you.
Be with me like it's the first time, like on our first date,
Remember what it felt like, we couldn't make mistakes.
Be with me like we've just met, when I excited you,
`Cause that's the feeling we used to have
And I'll do anything, anything, to get that back with you.
I sing, I pray, for things to be like that day.
I hurt and I cry, to think that's all gone away.
Sing with me like it's the first time, like you did with me,
I would sing on the melody, while you sang harmony.
Sing with me like we've just met, before I felt so blue
`Cause that's the love that we used to have
And I'll do anything, anything, to get that back with you.
