For The First Time

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

The doors were closing all around me till I opened up my eyes
Now it feels like I'm alive for the first time
Yeah it feels like I'm alive for the first time

Rising up like a phoenix in the summer
Everything in technicolor
All my troubles in the rear view far behind
So call your friends and call your brothers
Lets be good to one another
And meet me down at Ninth and Ash on Tuesday Night

Because I've been waiting for this moment so it comes as no surprise
Now it feels like I'm alive for the first time
Yeah it feels like I'm alive for the first time
For the first time
Yeah it feels like I'm alive

I want to 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 want to breathe, feel the ground underneath my feet
Let the wind fill the space between my lungs
Taste it on my tongue

'Cause I've been waiting for this moment so I'm gonna get it right
Yeah it feels like I'm alive for the first time
