Rain was tracing lines across your window pane
We held our coffee cups to hide the sudden chill
You brushed a strand of hair that drifted in the gray
And suddenly the ticking clock went dead and still
I knew the heavy armor that I used to wear
Built stone by stone against the shadows of my past
But when your fingers hesitated in the air
I knew a heart like mine was never built to last
Oh we were trembling strangers walking on the ledge
Looking down into the blue
One step away from giving up the edge
Falling straight into you
It was the first time my hands forgot to shake
The first time a promise didn't sound so fake
In a world full of wreckage and cold neon light
You pulled my broken shadow into the night
Oh heaven and earth could crash and fade away
That first holy touch was written to stay
You whispered something quiet that the wind took away
Didn't need the words to know the gravity we made
Two weathered souls who finally found the harbor gate
After chasing every ghost across an empty glade
Oh we were weary travelers crossing through the fire
Looking for a single sign
You took my wounded breath and raised it higher
Drew the circle on the line
It was the first time my hands forgot to shake
The first time a promise didn't sound so fake
In a world full of wreckage and cold neon light
You pulled my broken shadow into the night
Oh heaven and earth could crash and fade away
That first holy touch was written to stay
They told me love was gentle like a summer breeze
Nobody warned me it would bring me to my knees
Not a spark but a quiet wildfire in the dark
Leaving every sacred scar
Yeah!It was the first time my hands forgot to shake!
The first time my frozen spirit learned to break!
Let the whole wide world crumble right into dust
I will stake every heartbeat on our crazy trust
Oh heaven and earth could crash and fade away
That first holy touch was written to stay
The first time
We both knew
