Lyrics and Music by 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.
And I don’t know where I am,
I don’t know where I’ve been,
But I know where I want to go.

   And so I thought
   I’d let you know,
   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 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 just no telling,
   We just have to wait and see.
   But I’d rather be working
   For a paycheck,
   Than waiting to win the lottery,
   Ah-ha,
   Mm-hmm.

   Besides,
   Maybe this time it’s different,
   I mean I really think you like me.
