The video of this song is quite possibly the sweetest and most simplest video ever.
I remember first hearing this song and being completely stunned by its profoundness.
For me this song explains how falling in love is like being born. When you fall in love it's like your in a unknown territory. Completely unaware of the things that surrounds you. "I was blind before i met you" pretty much explained the whole meaning of the song.
"I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy” explains how to true love is. You don't need things to be happy with someone you love.
my favorite line has to be "I'm glad i didn't die before i met you.." it's just so simple and true.
Lyrics
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'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”
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
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me
