A Song for VDay

I'm not usually a sucker for Valentine's, but I just realized that this is the first Valentine's Day in 5 years that I'm either single, or date-less. Sad.

If you're anything like me this V-Day, don't click the play button on the video below. Likewise, don't scroll down to read the lyrics of the song. It'll make you wanna kill yourself for being single, lonely, unattached, unable to commit, or just way too ugly to attract anyone (choose whatever is appropriate). I don't want to have the Interpol/CIA/FBI chasing my ass around cyberspace for driving loveless people to suicide. Please.

But if you're any of the following:

1. drunk in love;
2. dating someone;
or
3. happily married (key word: HAPPILY);

then by all means, play the video out. Listen to the song and read the lyrics below. It'll make you smile for the right reasons. I swear.




FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE
(art.: Bright Eyes)

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, 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 realized 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 wanna be with me
With these things there's no telling
We'll 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 it's different
I mean I really think you like me
