For The First Time

[Verse 1]

In the back of the van, across Ohio

Trying hard to fake a smile

Even if this dream is coming to an end

'Cause like a flash in the pan, I'm out of style

Didn't go the extra mile

Waited for those fifteen minutes to begin

[Pre-Chorus]

The doors were closing all around me

Until I opened up my eyes

[Chorus]

And now it feels like I'm alive for the first time

Yeah, it feels like I'm alive for the first time

(Oh)

[Verse 2]

Rising up like a phoenix in the summer

Everything in technicolor

All my troubles in the rearview, far behind

So call your friends and call your brother

Let's be good to one another

And meet me down at Ninth and Ash on Tuesday Night

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I've been waiting for this moment

So it comes as no surprise

[Chorus]

Now it feels like I'm alive for the first time

Yeah, it feels like I'm alive for the first time

(Oh) For the first time

Yeah, it feels like I'm alive

[Bridge]

I wanna live

No, there's nothing that I won't give

To be back in the place where I belong

We got one more song

I wanna breathe

Feel the ground underneath my feet

Let the wind fill the space between my lungs

Taste it on my tongue

[Pre-Chorus]

'Cause I've been waiting for this moment

So I'm gonna get it right

[Chorus]

Yeah, it feels like I'm alive for the first time
