First Day Of My Life (Bright Eyes Cover)
Mac Miller · Other Songs - Mac Miller
right in the doorway I went out in the rain suddenly
everything changed They're spreading blankets on the
beachYours 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 goAnd 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 homeRemember
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
