This is the first time on my own
This is the first time I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall

I never knew how suddenly the night can fall
Far away
I can here the city screams

Drift away
I could be beside you in my dreams


[Chorus:]
In another world
I could walk away

Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway


In another world
But not in this world
I have no stronghold to defend

But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promises to make or keep
And though I'm free to go

I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away
Wonder if you think of me

Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly

[Chorus]


And though I realize the truth
Is not idealized in you

Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind


[Chorus 2x]

This is the first time on my own

This is the first time I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never knew how suddenly the night can fall

Far away
I can here the city screams
Drift away

I could be beside you in my dreams

[Chorus]


In another world
But not in this world

I have no strong hold to defend
But still my heart is outside, beating at the door again
No promise to make or keep

One thought I'm free to go
I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away

Wonder if you think of me
Yesterday, is the place I'm going endlessly


[Chorus]

And though I realize the truth

Is not that I desire in you
Why should I be surprised to find
That you are always on my mind


[Chorus 2x]


This is the first time on my own
This is the first time I ever been alone like this
This is the first time I ever been alone like this
