Sonic Generator, "The First Time Around"
(2009)

I spend the night alone
In a city I don't know
With a pulse that I can't sense inside my barely beating heart
But so many miles away
While the world is fast asleep
I can feel the cosmic hopes and dreams and fantasies you keep

And before you wake up
I'll be back in this town
And I'll walk these streets like it's the first time around

Somewhere long ago
In a time that faded past
We shared the concrete underneath our feet like hope inside a storm
But there always comes a time
And I had to get away
So I could send away the darkness that I kept inside my heart

And before you wake up
I'll be back in this town
And I'll walk these streets like it's the first time around

And you're breathing further still
But a calm comes to my heart
And I can feel a time approaching ever nearer as we sleep
When we'll tear these walls apart
Watch the skylines disappear
And watch the silent sunsets come and melt away all of these years

And before you wake up
I'll be back in this town
And I'll walk these streets like it's the first time around


Thanks, Matt! According to him, this one is inspired by a lovely young man (and he would know, since he wrote it).
