Lyrics
[verse]
I've been holding back the things I really feel,
Wondering if this moment could ever be this real,
There's a quiet kind of nervousness in the air tonight,
But something tells me everything's about to be alright.
[verse]
For the first time I'm not afraid to say it out loud,
For the first time I'm standing tall without a cloud,
Every step feels new, every word feels true,
For the first time I'm finding out who I am with you.
[chorus]
This is the first time, the first time,
That I've felt this kind of quiet, honest light,
This is the first time, the first time,
That everything feels right.
[verse]
I used to guard my heart with walls too high to climb,
But something in this moment made me leave it all behind,
Sincerely and simply, I'm learning how to feel,
For the first time in so long, this all feels real.
[chorus]
This is the first time, the first time,
That I've felt this kind of quiet, honest light,
This is the first time, the first time,
That everything feels right.
[bridge]
(instrumental — sincere mid-tempo ballad swell)
[chorus]
This is the first time, the first time,
That I've felt this kind of quiet, honest light,
This is the first time, the first time,
That everything feels right.
