A rare example of a TMBG love song. Another First Kiss is about a relationship that has lost the romantic edge of new love, but is still content in a sad sort of way. The couple in the song has become intimate enough for her to wear his shirts and stuff, but has mostly stopped talking. Notice in the first verse she "grabs MY coat to walk away"... She's obviously not leaving him, just going out wearing his coat. By asking for "another first kiss" he's hoping they can find a way to rekindle that fire. In spite of a little bit of their trademark dark moodiness in a happy-sounding song, it's actually kind of optimistic by their standards. It reminds me a lot of "Pet Name" from their Factory Showroom album (and was probably written about the same time. An early, more rocked-out version of it appeared on the MP3-only album "Long Tall Weekend", which came out shortly after Factory Showroom.)
