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
Now 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 had 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 is different
I mean I really think you like me
i went to work today and then james showed up and gave me a cd.. cause today is our 3 month.. and after about 2 weeks of dating we found out that "our song" is 'the first day of my life - bright eyes' cause it just means everything that we mean to say to each other.. but this song explains it all. so when i came home i put the cd in my player and found out its 27 tracks of the first day of my life... 27 times. at first i thought it was a bunch of different ones but by track 2 i thought "umm maybe its the entire cd?" so i asked and flipped thru the songs.. its 27 times. and i love that.. cause its so amazing to have a song that him and i share with such meaning. by one of our favorite atists. i love to cd to death.. and i love james more. i love you james.
