First We Kiss Lyrics

My heart beats against the wardrobe
'Cause I hear the closing door
Beats against the window
Tell me how long
Tell me how long

Feel it come from nowhere
Taking over me
Feel it come from nowhere
Tell me why
Tell me why

First we'll kiss
Then you will lock the door, my dear
A perfect kiss
Just to remind what's between us
Tonight is here

Feel it come from nowhere
Taking over me
Feel it come from nowhere
Tell me why
Tell me why

First we'll kiss
Then you will lock the door, my dear
A perfect kiss
Just to remind what's between us
Tonight, what's between us tonight
Tonight

Beats against the wardrobe
As I hear the closing door
Our face against the window
Our lips touch no more
And suddenly from up here
Everything is clear
The love we had between us tonight
Is here

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 think this song is about being in love and feeling trapped and confined because of it. The last verse also suggests perhaps that the narrator has reached a somewhat elevated state; perhaps by death or being the end of the relationship. It seems that this gives her a sense of perspective, and that the love between them isn't lost.
