The First Day of My Life- Bright Eyes

"You felt as if you just woke up"

So, since I didn't have access to my blog when I moved into my apartment, I wasn't able to post this song for that monumental day.  I cried when I moved out of my house, but it's time.  I need to live away from my parents, and pretty much on my own.  I'm starting my life, now.

 Bright Eyes kind of cracks me up.  His voice is kinda ridiculous (as he mentions in Road to Joy) but so fitting.  They really just have awesome musicality and lyrics.  Really love them.  I think this song was featured on a commercial where I heard it first.  Not quite sure though.  Regardless, its awesome.

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 spreadin' blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I Think I was blind before I met you
I don't know where I am
I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
So I thought I'd let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realized that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

I 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 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 wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll 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 it's different
I mean I really think you like me
