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
