There will be no kisses tonight
there will be no holding hands tonight
cause what is now wasn't there before
and should not be

I know I've broken some hearts, I understand
some firecrackers blow up in your hand
oh I f**ked up, I've always tried to be true

But I would never kiss anyone
who doesn't burn me like the sun
and I remember every kiss
like my first kiss
like my first kiss

When I think back on that night
it was lovely
vital aching
in your dad's 240
but I would like to keep the memory
of that kiss as it is

Things get more complicated when you're older
before you know it you are somebody's soldier
you get a gun and you name it
after a girlfriend

But I swear I'll never kiss anyone
who doesn't burn me like the sun
and I will cherish every kiss
like my first kiss
like my first kiss
like my first kiss

    General Comment:I am still absolutely in love with this song. It's a daring opening to an album and I really like how Jens took that chance.

    The way I see it is that he's tired of casual relationships and wants something more in life. He wants to keep love and sex sacred to himself. I don't know, just an idea.

    General Comment:Ohh, I always thought it was "there will be no quesadillas tonight." As is, he and his friends were going to have a quesadilla night, but none of them wanted to ride his bike to the supermarket to buy the tortillas and cheese and what have you. I guess kisses makes more sense, though.

    General Comment:I found a demo version long before his new album was put wich had the lyrics "There will be no hanky panky tonight" instead of "there will be no kisses".

    Im guessing 'Hanky Panky' is slang for kissing or sex right?
