First Day Of My Life

Bright Eyes · Other Songs - Bright Eyes

This is the first day of my life

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 was the first face that I saw

I think I was blind before I met you

I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been

But I know where I want to go



So I thought I'd let you know

That these things take forever, I especially am slow

But I realized how I need you

And I wondered if I could come home



I 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 just woke up



And you said, this is the first day of my life

Glad I didn't die before I met you

Now I don't care, I could go anywhere with you

And I'd probably be happy



So if you wanna be with me

With these things there's no telling, we'll 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 it's different

I mean, I really think you like me
