At the end of the street lay your house
When your parents were asleep, you snuck out
The summer was young and the night was clear
And we kissed in the gateway
With you I've experienced so much for the first time
And today I don't even know how you're doing
You were my first song
It's what was left of you
A song nobody ever forgets
I want you to know, wherever you are
It stays what it is forever
We were in a daze for four summers
And I wrote a song with your name
You had big plans, wanted to move on
With a suitcase full of hope you went to Berlin
On your mattress we cried day and night
Your world was too big for me and mine too small for you
You were my first song
It's what was left of you
A song nobody ever forgets
I want you to know, wherever you are
It stays what it is forever
And sometimes I hear the melody again so clear
As if it all just happened yesterday
You were my first song
It's what was left of you
A song nobody ever forgets
I want you to know, wherever you are
It stays what it is forever
