Lyrics such as “Am I sleeping on her side of the bed, Am I taking up the space where she used to rest her head” and “Did she pick that painting that’s hanging a little crooked on your wall, It’s been getting to me lately, even though it’s not your fault” offer a bittersweet reflection on love and the longing to be someone’s first special someone.
Fueled by soulful vocals and a truly heart-tugging narrative, Justine Blanchet delivers a captivating country tune that vulnerably reminisces on the desire to hold the title of someone’s first love. So, press play and embark on a whirlwind of emotions with the artist’s latest creation.
