Lyrics: Conor Oberst
Music: Conor Oberst
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 donāt know where I am I donāt know where Iāve beenļ¼
But I know where I want to go,
So I thought Iād let you knowļ¼
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 āthis is the first day of my lifeāļ¼
glad I didnāt die before I met youļ¼
But now I donāt care I could go anywhere with youļ¼
And Iād probably be happyļ¼
So if you wanna be with me,
With these things thereās no tellingļ¼
We just have to wait and see,
But Iād rather be working for a paycheckļ¼
Than waiting to win the lottery,
Besides maybe this time is different,
I mean I really think you like me.
