[Intro: Matt Skiba]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
First drink of the night just to get me right
The first light of the day, I know I got it all wrong
First pill that you drop only sets it off
The next morning you wake up all blurry and numb
Before all the damn insecurities
Before all your innocence is all lost
Think back to the time you were all alone
One day you'll look back and say, "Where's it all gone?"

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Sometimes we get lost inside our little heads
Don't sleep just yet, we all know that there's nothing like the
First love, first high, there ain't nothing like the first time
Passed out last night, there ain't nothing like the first time

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Taking all her meds (First love)
Sleeping with her friends (First high)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)
Stuck inside her head (Passed out)
Jumping in her bed (Last night)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)

[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
First time on a plane, so she's paranoid
Tried to make her feel safe, but said it all wrong
First time in L.A., so she can't avoid
Feeling like she's failing all along

[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Sometimes we get lost inside our little heads
Don't sleep just yet, we all know that there's nothing like the
First love, first high, there ain't nothing like the first time
Passed out last night, there ain't nothing like the first time

[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Taking all her meds (First love)
Sleeping with her friends (First high)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)
Stuck inside her head (Passed out)
Jumping in her bed (Last night)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)

[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)

​​blink-182

blink-182 set off the 1990s storm of pop-punk, blazing a trail in the genre with electrifying riffs and memorable lines—“Fuck a Dog,” anyone? The band has seen some lineup changes over the years, but its core trio (Tom DeLonge, Mark Hoppus, and Travis Barker) has mostly stood the test of time. As of 2015, DeLonge left the band to pursue other projects.

Founded in 1992 in Poway, California (a suburb in San Diego), DeLonge, Hoppus, and former drummer Scott Raynor formed the band in Raynor’s bedroom, writing songs for their demos, and playing practical jokes along the way. Initially, under the name Blink, the trio was forced to change the name to avoid a lawsuit with the Irish pop-rock group of the same name, so they added “182” at random (fans continue to speculate what “182” means to this day).

After releasing their demo album Buddha, blink-182 released Cheshire Cat in 1995 under Cargo Records. While not a major success at the time, the album generated buzz from the Southern California punk scene and major labels alike. After being signed to MCA Records, the band released Dude Ranch in 1997 with the hit singles “Dammit” and “Josie”.
