First Day of My Life - Deezer Home Sessions
[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
Don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

[Chorus]
So, I thought I’d let you know
Yeah, these things take forever
Especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

[Verse 2]
Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the mornin'?
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
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 tellin'
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be workin' for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides, maybe this time is different
I mean, I really think you like me
Mmm
Mmm
