Best Coast - For The First Time Lyrics
I'm trying really hard
I'm trying harder than I ever have before
Used to think that taking care
Of myself would just become a real bore
On Friday nights I don't spend
Like I used to
The demons deep inside of me
They might've finally been set free
And I guess this is what they mean
When they say
People can change
'Cause I finally feel free
I feel like myself again
But for the first time
I changed the colors of the bedsheets
Now they are a pretty pale pink
Traded her in for a new girl
And she's looking pretty fine
But sometimes she don't listen to me
And it makes me wanna lose my mind
Like you used to
I tried to blame it all on you
But I know that I'm to blame too
And I guess this is what they mean
When they say
People can change
'Cause I finally feel free
I feel like myself again
But for the first time
I used to think that I would die without you
And no offense to you but I'm doing fine too
'Cause finally I'm free
I feel like myself again
But for the first time
And no offense to you but I'm doing fine too
But for the first time
Yeah, for the first time
Yeah, for the first time

Best Coast For The First Time Comments
Love love love the lyrics music look sound...everything!!!
God dang I love you guys
I love your positive transition Beth!! Keep it up! :)
I like her music better when she was doing horse
love this band
Yesss Bethanyyyyy!! Giving me a break up song with no hate, just good vibes. More artists need to write songs about loving themselves and being okay and secure in their own selves.
Tú estás en Doble Nueve 🇵🇪
That riff though. You could float away on that 😍🤤
I cannot express just how much I love this song.
Best Song 😍
in the Chorus when
''And I guess this is what they mean
When they say
...'' part was soo good but after it was short ..i wish it was longer
This song reminds me of "Everywhere" by Fleetwood Mac... The bass line is the same.
Suena en Radio Doble 9
Lima Peru!
Como eu amo 😍👏
Keep at it
love Best Coast :)
so much better when sped up to 1.25
Even though I just listened to this song for the first time it feels really classic and familiar and brings me back to a good place
I can relate
Beautiful!
I love her voice...bravo.
Beth, where’s Nathan?
Bethany has aids
Heard this on CBC Radio 2 Drive the other day. So great! I took another look at the older Best Coast stuff, and I'm loving it. I love this lighter sound - and the positive vibes in this song. Feeling like a recovery song, a song about what real change feels like. It's like the painful journey from "California Nights" of being "high all the time just to get by", to suddenly "feeling myself again, for the first time" out of the fog of addiction - at least this is what resonated with me - it sounded less like an interaction between two people, and more like an interaction between a person and another part of themselves that was damaged and hurting. I keep listening to it over and over again - reminds me of how fantastic is feels to change for the better. Very inspiring!
this song really grew on me fast
💓🚗🇮🇩
Fak its cool
this must be the place
I'm so proud of Bethany doing so great lately! I love it!
A co-worker walked past and asked if this was Shania Twain... not sure how I feel about that.
Te Amo.❤❤👆
Can't wait to see you in LA !!! 😺😺😺
Massive best coast fan from the beginning. Still unsure about this one, hoping it is chunkier live. Cmon Bethany this is not HAIM
I really like the vibe in this song - it's lighter and more "Easy Listening" than their usual stuff, and I think that's why this is one of my favorite Best Coast Songs! It just feels a little different than usual. California Nights was another of my favorites for the same reason.
This songs really hits me because of how much I can relate. Thank you for your lovely music that I just can’t get enough of.
Quality hotties in this video too! (I see you dilf)
Tobias Forge sent me here. Subscribed!
From where?, I want to see it
That wasn't the "beast coast" i was expecting but it quite a nice song tho
Edit: Oh my bad, i just forgot the "a" while typing, so, my fault here !
Que grandes sois joderr os quiero
Reminds me of Neko Case. Such a good thing.
Sounds a bit 80's synthpop, the sort of music that would roll the credits on a movie like Ferris Bueller's Day Off. None of this is a bad thing.
I feel like her vocals do not work with the 80s influence.
Ok boomer
I LOVE YOU BETHANY AND BOBB
Thank you.
I love you guys so much ♡ kisses from brazil
They have back!!
All of their songs are a whole different style when sped up on 1.25 😂
I remember when Best Coast was good. Had high hopes for their future albums. What happened?
What a bright, shiny, and joyful song! I heard it today on Jack Rabid's Big Takeover show and was so surprised by this little gem. I'm sure your fan base is surprised too. I'm really happy for you and can't wait to hear more of this new material.
I never fully understood what people meant when they'd say a song "spoke" to them. Then, this song came out.
Just heard this song on KRCL here in SLC - nice beautiful counter-melodies and voice / gtr. Thanx :)
Listen.
If a hundred million children showed up to the rock and roll reefer sex hall
Are you gonna perform for them?
Then aren’t you some puppet show?
So proud of Bethany and loving the new music!
Eagle Rock 💛
Best Song
. . . I want to be with you Everywhere.
giving me 80s retro vibes yeeeeeeeessss
2:39 is that snacks?
Great song. Can’t go wrong.
Trying to have an open mind about this new sound. I wonder if this is what it was like when The Beach Boys put out Pet Sounds?
Relatable, fun, uplifting, and Snacks!!😻
Needed to hear this in the worst way today!
This is great! I love seeing the growth!
Love the unique melody and double tracking
Awe, yay! I'm so happy to see you guys back<3
Damn, I thought this said "Beast Coast", I legit was waiting for a beat switch and then Meech spittin some mad bars.
Saaame though, came here for Joey and the Flatbush Zombies
For a second I thought I was watching HGTV🤪
Hello there Eagle Rock! ♥️
No Maui date? C’mon. 🤙
Dang it reminds me of camera obscura :(
cutest band award goes to: Best Coast
AGREED! <3
Lovely ❤️
yesssssss!
Reminds me of The Bangles. I dig it
Thank you for this 😭💗
beth has always been such a babe.
I love the 80s vibe in this
Other Beast Coast, off summer.
Whoa😏😏 now this is what i m talking about. Heck yeah.😅😅😅
Due to reduced hearing loss I have not be able understand many of the singers in songs since the eighties, but I do love a good beat and melody. This hits those marks. What is the singer saying in this song? Don't care. Another nice tune I can hum w/o trying to get the lyrics right. Thanks for the upload. Do lane, do lane, do lane.
I'm the 💯 th comment!!! Bobb Bruno and I could be brothers.
😍❤👏
I've been thinking about you guys lately, so happy for a new song. Thank you.❤️
I listen to this song and my eyes fill with tears. The vibes that this video gives with all your friends is great.
You're such a lovely girl! Thanks for the company that your music provides ❤
Greetings from Argentina
OMG I thought I was the only one who had tears to my eyes listening to this!!
Wow! Sounds so different to all their other stuff! And it’s not a bad thing! I instantly love it!
I wanna hang out w ya'll
I really needed these kind of message. Thank you.
I used to seriously be in love with this band. I introduced them to my ex. She dumped me and stole my band!
I went off them for a bit and started listening to that brilliant lo fi debut again.
Last album was decent but this is so bland. What happened to those sing along athems?
hey maybe we can collaborate
Nobody noticed the clear Fleetwood Mac reference there ? (the Bass, the Flute part in the back.) Really sounds like an easier version of EVERYWHERE...
Agreed, I hear Fleetwood Haim
i was literally just listening to that songs lol
Big Fleetwood vibes
i've missed you!!
I love it!!
Sounds a bit like Jenny Lewis at times
Digging the ethereally atmospheric 80’s Fleetwood Mac style sound here. And seeing their Jen from the band Bleached (the babe in the sparkly top:) Their record from earlier this year covers similar themes to this song. Beautiful rocking record, check it out!
snacks!
I MISSED YOU SO MUCH
