The opening track to NINE, “The First Time”, is about the feelings you get when you try something out for the first time, whether it be taking meds, falling in love and going on a first date, or flying on a plane.

The First Time Lyrics
[Intro: Matt Skiba]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
[Verse 1: Mark Hoppus]
First drink of the night just to get me right
The first light of the day, I know I got it all wrong
First pill that you drop only sets it off
The next morning you wake up all blurry and numb
Before all the damn insecurities
Before all your innocence is all lost
Think back to the time you were all alone
One day you'll look back and say, "Where's it all gone?"
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Sometimes we get lost inside our little heads
Don't sleep just yet, we all know that there's nothing like the
First love, first high, there ain't nothing like the first time
Passed out last night, there ain't nothing like the first time
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Taking all her meds (First love)
Sleeping with her friends (First high)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)
Stuck inside her head (Passed out)
Jumping in her bed (Last night)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
[Verse 2: Matt Skiba]
First time on a plane, so she's paranoid
Tried to make her feel safe, but said it all wrong
First time in L.A., so she can't avoid
Feeling like she's failing all along
[Pre-Chorus: Mark Hoppus, Mark Hoppus and Matt Skiba]
Sometimes we get lost inside our little heads
Don't sleep just yet, we all know that there's nothing like the
First love, first high, there ain't nothing like the first time
Passed out last night, there ain't nothing like the first time
[Chorus: Mark Hoppus & Matt Skiba]
Taking all her meds (First love)
Sleeping with her friends (First high)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)
Stuck inside her head (Passed out)
Jumping in her bed (Last night)
Find out in the end, there ain't (There ain't)
Nothing like the first time (Nothing like the first time)
[Post-Chorus: Matt Skiba & Mark Hoppus]
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Nothing like the first time)
