Cover art for Things I Cannot Recall lyrics by Blind Pilot

'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.
