Lyrics
This is the first day of my life
This marks the beginning of a significant moment in the speaker's life.
I swear I was born right in the doorway
The speaker feels a sense of rebirth or awakening, possibly due to a new relationship.
I went out in the rain suddenly
Stepping into the unknown, experiencing change, and unpredictability.
Everything changed
A acknowledgment that a transformative event has occurred.
They're spreading blankets on the beach
Symbolic gesture of comfort and intimacy in a shared experience.
Yours is the first face that I saw
Meeting someone special for the first time.
I think I was blind before I met you
Prior to meeting the person, the speaker felt incomplete or lacked understanding.
Now I don’t know where I am
Feeling disoriented or lost in the present.
I don’t know where I’ve been
Uncertain about the past and the journey taken so far.
But I know where I'd like to be
Expressing a desire for a specific place or state of being.
And so, I thought I’d let you know
Sharing the speaker's contemplation with the other person.
That these things take forever
Recognition that meaningful things require time and patience.
I'm especially slow
The speaker acknowledges their own slowness in understanding.
But I realize that I need you
Realization of the importance of the person addressed.
And I wondered if I could come home oh
Possibly a plea to be accepted despite shortcomings.
I remember the time you drove all night
Recalling a significant event of dedication and effort from the other person.
Just to meet me in the morning?
A commitment to meet and connect, emphasizing the significance of the encounter.
And I thought it was strange
Reflecting on the unusual nature of the situation.
You said everything changed
Recognition that the encounter brought about a profound change.
You felt as if you'd just woke up
Feeling of awakening or realization in the aftermath of the meeting.
And you said "This is the
---
First day of my life
Reiterating the idea that the meeting marks a new beginning.
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
Gratitude for the positive impact of the relationship.
But now
Expressing a sense of freedom and contentment in the current state.
I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
Openness to any path or destination as long as it's shared with the person.
And I’d probably be happy"
Contentment and happiness in the prospect of being together.
So if you want to be with me
Expressing a willingness to be in a relationship with the person.
With these things, there’s no telling
Uncertainty about the future but a belief in the value of waiting.
We'll just have to wait and see
Embracing the unknown and being patient for the relationship to unfold.
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Choosing meaningful work over uncertain luck.
Than waiting to win the lottery oh
Preferably working towards a stable future rather than relying on chance.
