In Another World

This is the first time on my own
This is the first time I've ever been alone like this
The silence covers wall to wall
I never noticed how suddenly the night can fall
Far away
I can hear the city street
Drift away
I can be beside you in my dream
In another world
I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world--
But not in this world
I have no stronghold to defend
But still my heart is outside
Beating at the door again
No promises to make or keep
And though I'm free to go
I end up chasing sleep again
Drift away
I wonder if you'll think of me
Yesterday
There's the place I'm going endlessly
In another world
I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world--
But not in this world
And though I realize the truth
Is not idealized in youth
Or should I be surprised to find
That you are never off my mind
Drift away
I wonder if you'll think of me
Yesterday
Is the place I'm going endlessly
In another world
I could walk away
Pretend there was nothing
I wouldn't need you anyway
In another world--
But not in this world
This is the first time on my own
This is the first time I've ever been alone like this
