[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.. th

ey're spreadin

g
            
blankets on th

    
e beach

             
Yours is the f

            
irst face that

   
 I saw
            
Thnk I was bli

              
nd before I me

   
t you
             
Don't know whe

            
re I am, don't

              
 know where I'

    
ve been ... Bu

t I
            
know where I w

       
ant to go

[Chorus]
             
So I thought I

             
'd let you kno


w
             
that these thi

          
ngs take forev

er
           
I especially a

    
m slow
            
But I realized

              
 how I need yo

              
u and I wonder

              
ed if I could 

          
come home

[Verse 2]
             
I remember the

            
 time you drov

       
e all night
            
Just to meet m

              
e in the morni


ng
             
I thougth it w

            
as strange you

              
 said everythi

    
ng changed ...

 you felt
            
as if you'd ju

      
st woke 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
             
Now I don't ca

            
re, I could go

       
 anywhere with

 you... and I'

d
            
Probably be ha


ppy

[Chorus]
             
So if you want

           
 to be with me
             
With these thi

              
ngs there's no


 telling
             
we'll just hav

            
e to wait and 

 
see
              
but I'd rather

            
 be working fo

              
r a paycheck, 

              
than waiting t

              
o win the lott

 
ery
            
Besides maybe 

              
this time it's

              
 different, I 

              
mean I really 

              
think you like

 
 me
