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 REPEAT 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 REPEAT 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 I could walk away pretend their was nothing I wouldn't need you anyway 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 REPEAT 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 REPEAT 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
