First Day Of My Life by Bright Eyes

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
