This song is heartwarming and simply-beautiful. I encourage you to look up the music video, which is downright heartwarming. Please enjoy. Remember that love doesn't have to feel like magic, but it probably will, so let it. The rest of your life can look like anything you want it to, so set down your expectations and realize that one day you may just wake up and realize that this is the first time you've ever really woken up. I hope for the sake of a good story that for you this event is catalized by someone who turns your rainy days in to beach days, a beautiful face, somone who is home to you, someone who would drive all night to meet you in the morning. Don't fight it, don't overthink it, just accept that sometimes things are as they seem, and we can be born just walking through a doorway.

Title: 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

Hey C-Pat!
Thanks for your comment on my blog! I wanted to let you know--"that guy" who uses "incidentally" like me: he's my brother.
