'why'd you stay behind
packing for the trip
why'd you ask me to be the one
first through your lips
i was awkward and i could not hear
your body through my body's fear
we were going to hell'
Ok, so this may be a long stretch, but I think the "first through your lips" is a sexual interpretation. People also talk about the crazy body/physical awkwardness there usually is the first time sex happens with their first love, and I also totally believe the "going to hell" part refers to sinning by having sex. It contributes to all of the other potent, important memories he faintly recalls throughout the song. But who knows..

I've always thought the same thing about those lines.
