First Day Of My Life Lyrics - I'm Wide Awake It's Morning - 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 

And so I'd thought I'd let you know 

That these things take forever, I especially am slow 

But I realized that 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 

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 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 

Besides, maybe this time is different 

I mean, I really think you like me
