A First
My body is frozen
My eyes are open
My lungs are heavy
My hands are empty
My mouth is dry
These ears don't try
I stare out the window
The sky stares back
I don’t wanna seem callow
But it’s you I lack
There’s a first for everything
You and I are meant to cling
To a voice, a memory
Somewhere we wish to be
My mind is numb
My voice won’t come
My feet are covered
My head is lowered
My smile is a lie
No need to ask why
Reaching out my hand
Won’t do much good
I’m alone with myself and
Still I reach more than I should
There’s a first for everything
You and I now have to cling
To a voice, a memory
Somewhere we wish to be
We are talking
My soul is walking
To a place we can meet
Where my eyes can’t cheat
There’s a first for everything
