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
Their 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 evertything 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.
I'm Wide Awake, It's Morning

I didn't like a bootleg I heard of this song, but the actual song was so much better. I'm glad these awesome lyrics came out to a great song.

"But I’d rather be working for a paycheck

best line of the song, very good analogy of love and relationships. yet it's really sad,.. settling for less than what you want. but isn't that what most people do? settle with something convenient when they know there is something else out there?

A Good single, Not as many instruments on this one so it sounds a lot more mellow than the songs on Digital Ash
