First Timer Lyrics

Cover art for First Timer lyrics by Elliott Smith

The images that come to mind when I hear this song, is of a man at a meeting, like an AA meeting or something like, it is his first time, he is nervous and pretty uncomfortable, having to admit he has a problem is really frightening to him. But then he looks around and sees a pretty girl sitting there, alone, as well. And to calm himself down he creates a little fantasy about her. Again, this is just what I see upon listening, but the meaning is probably somewhere along the lines of having admit something and the fear of accepting your own words.
