BRIGHT EYES
"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

[Chorus:]
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
Mhm mhm

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"

[Chorus:]
So if you wanna 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
Aha mmm
Besides, maybe this time is different?
I mean, I really think you like me
Me-eee
Me-eeeee
