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
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 thought i'd let you know
that these things take forever
i especially am 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 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
