Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Is that music in my ear?
It's like I heard nothin' for a thousand years
My eyes were closed, locking in my tears
[Verse 2]
I was so surrounded but still all alone
A great big house but so far from home
How'd you breathe life in this heart of soul?
[Verse 3]
It's like I can feel, it's like I can breathe
It's like I can live, it's like I can love
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, for the first time
[Verse 4]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
[Verse 5]
I'm electric, finally exposed
You see through me, strip off all my clothes
If this is fallin', then let me go
Oh
[Verse 6]
It's like I can feel, it's like I can breathe
It's like I can live, it's like I can love
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, for the first time
[Verse 7]
Oh, oh-oh
Oh, oh-oh
[Verse 8]
I'm finally awake and I can feel my heart
It's beating like a drum when I'm right here where you are
I can feel it, I can feel it
Oh, can you feel it?
[Verse 9]
It's like I can feel, it's like I can breathe
It's like I can live, it's like I can love
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, for the first time
[Verse 10]
It's like I can feel, it's like I can breathe
It's like I can live, it's like I can love
For the first time, for the first time
For the first time, for the first time
