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 
Their 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’m especially 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 evertything changed 
You felt as if you had 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 
Then waiting to win the lottery 
Besides maybe this time is different 
I mean I really think you like me
