BRIGHT EYES LYRICS
"First Day Of My Life"
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 spreading blankets on the beach
Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now 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 had 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 want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Then waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Keyword above: think, i can't know, why can't you just respect that.
You don't understand me, but with this shit, it seems you have to have to know why i cried last night.
I can't trust anyone fully, maybe i can, but you need to build it for awhile.
Is that so hard, why can't things be the same as always without us stopping things that we say to eachother, you don't know how bad that hurt me.
I told you last night, i hate humans for doing this, why do we have to know everything always, why can't certain things be left sacred...but since you did this, let me just relieve you, let me help you with hurting me.
You don't know how bad it hurts me to relive middle school, but i'll do it, for you.
Here you go:
How about everyday when the popular girls made fun of me constantly.
How about because of that, the guys picking fights which early on, they won ( until later when i remembered that first year and i gave every single jock a bruised face.)
How about the girl that i liked and told her and she was someone i didn't think she was and she made everyone laugh, a room full of ridicule thrown in my face.
how about the girl that did like me but was popular so she kept our relationship a secret .
How about becoming someone totally different than who you were so you would be able to slip through those grades.
I'm not even mentioning elementary.
Not enough for you to know, how about all the fights, how about all the remarks, how about the recent things, 9th grade when i liked someone and she kissed me and right after, went to find matt cooper, then liked someone else and had every inch of trust i had left ripped apart, but i had it demolished, or my best friend that was a girl doing somethign and living that and then this shit.
thank you, this really helps me trust you more.
