Herboren

This is the first day of my life.

I swear I was born right in the doorway.

I went out in the rain

and suddenly everything changed

there spreading

blankets on the beach.

Yours is the first face that I saw.

Think I was blind before I met you.

I don't know where I am

I don't know where I've been

but I know where I want to go.

So I thought I'd let you know.

These things take forever,

I especially am slow.

But I realised 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 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

it's different,

I mean I really think you like me.
