First day of my life


This is the first day of my life, 
I swear I was born right in the doorway.
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed, 
they're spreading blankets on the beach.

Yours is the first face that I saw.
I think I was blind before I met you.
Now I don’t know where I am,  
I don’t know where I’ve been, 
but I know where I want to go.

And so I thought I’d let you know
that these things take forever.
I especially am slow, 
but I realize that I need you, 
and I wondered if I could come home.

Remember the time you drove all night
just to meet me in the morning?
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed.
You felt as if you'd just woke up, 
and you said: “This is the first day of my life. 
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you,  
but now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
and I’d probably be happy”.

So if you want to be with me, 
with these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see.
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
than waiting to win the lottery.
Besides maybe this time is different, 
I mean I really think you like me.
