Lyrics For the First Time - Per Gessle, Helena Josefsson

For the First Time

Minutes are running slow
Seconds feel more like days
Days since I let you go
That’s how it feels anyway
Sometimes I forget
Love’s a different language
Known by the heart
A foreign tongue
I’m hearing for the first time
A promise made
I’m meaning for the first time
Old friends like solitude
Quiet and empty space
Are enemies since finding you
Just loneliness by other names
Sometimes I forget
Love’s a different language
Spoken by the heart
A foreign tongue
I’m hearing for the first time
A promise made
I’m meaning for the first time
Sometimes I forget
Love’s a different language
Spoken by the heart
A foreign tongue
I’m hearing for the first time
A promise made
I’m meaning for the first time
A masquerade
I’m shedding for the first time
A heart I’ve saved
And given for the first time
