lyrics

Found my first love on a holiday
At a campground half an hour’s drive from Apollo Bay
Just a couple of kids simply splashing round
Til the shore break hit and you grabbed my arm as I almost drowned

Cause I’ve been throwing out your name into the sea
Cause I’ve been carving out your name within the trees
Cause I’ve been calling out your name into the breeze
For years it seems

Your dad passed on back in 95
I watched you medicate with alcohol just to survive
Tried pulled you back when you went too far
When you found yourself in the backseat of some stranger’s car

You only get one first love in your lifetime
I’ll never forget you no matter how hard I try

I saw you last night, what a way to meet
I was halfway drunk and singing songs on Brunswick Street
You were all dolled up, didn’t have time to stay
Just a quick hello and something about your wedding day
