First time

Wide awake
you stare into the dark
the ticking of the clock
against the pounding of your heart
I know, you just don't know

get alive
dare to lift your head
there's no one else but you
to raise you from the dead
I know, you told me so

once you strike
there's no way turning back
you've got to pay a price
to go from white to black
you know, you've got to go

this could be the first time
and it could be your last time
you never know
it doesn't show

this could be the first time
and it could be your last time
you never know
until you go

this could be the first time
and it could be your last time
you never know
I know you know
