First Timer
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I'm a first timer
Wishing I was someone else
When I see you by yourself
In the corridor where you find yourself now blocked
By the doors you locked
You won't do what the doctor ordered
You won't see someone else
Come on back to me
My bright tomorrow
You say you feel hollow
And you know it's 'cos you are
Well at least so far
I think of you with hesitation
I think of you too hard
Come on back to me
But don't make me sorry
I'm a first timer
Wishing I'd been someone else
Seeing you by yourself
