Verse 1

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 is the first face that I saw
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
Yeah, these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you and I wondered if I could come home

Instrumental

     

Verse 2

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
   
Besides, maybe this time it's different,
I mean I really think you like me
