[Verse 1]
             
This is the fi

            
rst day of my 

  
life
             
Swear I was bo

             
rn right in th

    
e doorway
             
I went out in 

            
the rain, sudd

              
enly everythin

    
g changed
              
They're spread

            
ing blankets o

            
n the beach

             
Yours is the f

            
irst face that

     
 I saw
             
Think I was bl

             
ind before I m

 
et you
             
Now I don't kn

            
ow where I am,

              
 I don't know 

           
where I've bee

n
            
But I know whe

             
re I want to g

      
o

[Chorus]
             
And so I thoug

             
ht I'd let you

 
 know
             
Yeah these thi

         
ngs take forev

er
            
I especially a

  
m slow
        
But I realized

 that I need y

ou and I wonde

red if I could

 come home

[Instrumental]
        

[Verse 2]
            
Remember the t

             
ime you drove 

    
all night
            
Just to meet m

         
e in the morni

ng
             
And I thought 

            
it was strange

              
, you said eve

        
rything change

d
            
You felt as if

              
 you'd just wo

        
ke up
             
And you said, 

             
"This is the f

             
irst day of my

 
 life.
             
I'm glad I did

             
n't die before

     
 I met you.
             
But now I don'

            
t care, I coul

         
d go anywhere 

with you,
            
And I'd probab

                
ly be happy."

[Chorus]
             
So if you want

           
 to be with me
             
With these thi

              
ngs there's no

 
 telling
             
We just have t

           
o wait and see
              
But I'd rather

    
 be working fo

r a paycheck

Than waiting to win the lottery

  
             
Besides, maybe


 this time it'

s different,
              
I mean I reall

              
y think you li

    
ke me
