[Verse 1]

It's nine o'clock at the carnival

On a lonely Saturday night

I register your name for the first time

Maybe everything will be alright

While I watch you fail at the carnival games

A single thought runs through my head

I'd like to become real good friends with you

For the first time I don't think I'm dead

[Chorus 1]

For the first time

I allow

Myself to hope

For the first time

I start to crawl

Away from my shadow

For the first time

For the first time

[Verse 2]

When all of your ghosts decide to flare up

I hope you will accept my aid

You'll go on to help mе in so many ways

No longer must I be afraid

So let mе into your wonderful mind

When you are feeling rather strange

I've dealt with my own problems for far too long

I'd love to have someone else's for a change

[Chorus 2]

For the first time

I believe

It is possible

For the first time

I do not have to

Sit down alone

For the first time

For the first time

[Outro]

For the first time
