It has been used in several movies, commercials, television shows, etc…
[Verse 1]
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
Now I don't know where I am, I don't know where I've been
But I know where I want to go
[Chorus]
And so I thought I'd let you know
Yeah, these things take forever, I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home
Mhm, mhm
[Verse 2]
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'd 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"
[Chorus]
So if you wanna 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 than waiting to win the lottery
Aha, mhm
Besides, maybe this time it's different
I mean, I really think you like me
