Script, The - For The First Time Lyrics






She's all laid up in bed with a broken heart,
While I'm drinking jack all alone in my local bar,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mad situation,
Only doing things out of frustration

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

She needs me now but I can't seem to find the time,
I've got a new job now on the unemployment line,
And we don't know how,
How we got into this mess
Is it God's test?
Someone help us 'cause we're doing our best,

Trying to make it work but man these times are hard

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while
A while, yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

She's in line at the DOLE*
With her head held high (high)
While I just lost my job but
Didn't lose my pride

But we both know how,
How we're gonna make it work when it hurts,
When you pick yourself up,
You get kicked to the dirt,

Trying to make it work but
Man, these times are hard,

But we're gonna start by
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Doing things we haven't for a while,
A while yeah,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time.

Ooooooh
Ooooooh
Ooooooh

Yeah...
Drinking old cheap bottles of wine,
[Clean version:] Sit talking up all night,
[Explicit version:] Shit talking up all night,
Saying things we haven't for a while,
We're smiling but we're close to tears,
Even after all these years,
We just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time

Ooooo,.. yeah, for the first time
Ooooo,.. oh, for the first time,
Ooooh,.. yeah, for the first time,
(Just now got the feeling that we're meeting for the first time)

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

Oh these times are hard,
Yeah, they're making us crazy
Don't give up on me baby

[* DOLE is the unemployment line in Ireland]

    I was in a tough state of depression for 3 years. Lack of communication made my girl of 9 years resent me. Bouncing between jobs and unsure of my future and what I want to do to find fulfillment. She left. She wanted a man who could share the load. Now I have an amazing job and great opportunities. She told me she doesn't think I'll last. I hate how she views me now but I know who I am and what I'm capable of. This song reminds me of what could have been had she just listened when I reached out for help. Had we just talked. We are both stubborn people. She moved on and would never admit if she felt she was making a mistake. I'm moving on as well but still pissed that she doesn't see me for what I truly am and was and that the person she fell in love with is still here and growing into an even better person. Life is crazy. I hope I can find that love again someday

    I knew about this song since 2011, when I was 10 years old. Earlier this year It randomly popped in my head out of nowhere. I didn’t know the name of it or anything. I just remember the catchy “Oooooo” hook. and It’s been fucking killing me ever since. I was looking up “Oooooo” song like a dumbass on YouTube expecting the song to come up. I finally stumbled across it on a Spotify playlist called “The sound of 2011”.

    Just listened to Break Even. This song as painful as it is has some light at the end of the tunnel. They needed to go through what they went through to grow and find each other again. I hope those who are suffering from a breakup or separation with their s/o will grow through it and find that person again. Sometimes we need to do our individual journeys before we can journey together with our one. Sending positive vibes!
