My First Time, Volume 3 Lyrics

My first time volume 3
They never will know what it did to me
My first time volume 3
Well I woke up in a sheet
And all I heard was he ain't getting up
But I never gave up
And if sound is sacred let me hear you tell me what
And then they gave me
My first time volume 3

I pulled through after all
Heavy lifting from the Lord and a bit of me
I let go what I knew
When they cut into my heart and they tore into my mind
Oh now it tore into my mind
I have to believe
If sound is sacred come on in and read me mine
Now I'm radiating inside

My first time volume 3
They never will know what it did to me
My first time volume 3
When I woke up in a sheet
And all I heard was he ain't getting up
But I never gave up
And if sound is sacred let me hear you tell me what
I'm radiating inside
Do you feel that?
And I'm changing inside
Can you see that?
Oh I was hating inside
And you know that
Radiating inside
Can you feel that?
Do you feel that now?

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I'm so excited this song is up here. I love it.

I've always thought it was about a guy who was brought back from the dead three times. A bad car accident that injured his spine, a brain injury, and a heart attack maybe.

I just love the way he sings, "Can you feel that?" later establishing such a mood.

this song seems like a play on the books from the "my first time" series, which describe men's first gay experiences. weird, but the lyrics seem to fit this in a number of places. I couldn't find any history of Spoon's lead singer being gay, but still, seems like a pretty obvious pull from the My First Time Volume 3 book title.

also, the demo version is far superior in my opinion.
