For the First Time - Per Gessle, Helena Josefsson

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
