Bright Eyes - The First Day of My Life Lyrics

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. 
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, 
These things take forever, I especially am slow. 
But I realized 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 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 it's different. 
I mean, I really think you like me.
