First Place Lyrics by Ember Oceans

Sleepwalk - EP

2019

You don’t know the first thing about me, no
You don’t know what I think about ya
There’s no way to tell you this easily and leave you be peacefully
I’ll get on the first flight out of here
Find a way to disappear

I’m not turning around
I don’t care if there’s no round of applause
When I’m up in first place all by myself, yeah
First place all by myself

Maybe my confidence finally catches up to me
I’m only seconds ahead of my insecurities
You don’t know the distance I've gone
The fear of loss is different up front
I’ll fly home and visit once a year
Bring you back some cheap plastic souvenirs

I’m not turning around
I don’t care if there’s no round of applause
When I’m up in first place all by myself, yeah
First place all by myself

I wanna win for once
I wanna win for once, yeah
I wanna win for once, yeah
I wanna win for once
I wanna win for once, yeah
I wanna win by myself

I’ve been getting homesick living in my hometown
Emotional breakdown, look for an escape route
I remember sunburned days out on the playground
Where I got my first kiss, where I learned what sex is
Maybe I’m ready, maybe I’m ahead of myself
I need to spend some time alone so I can figure it out

I’m not gonna stop, and turn it around
I don’t care if there’s no round of applause
When I’m up in first place all by myself, yeah
First place all by myself

I wanna win for once
I wanna win for once, yeah
I wanna win for once, yeah
I wanna win for once
I wanna win for once, yeah
I wanna win by myself
