So this is who you are
The broken branches always light the fire
The pretty stones, never decompose
They never learn to breathe
Your empty words they never get to me
So shut up and listen
*chorus*
It's the first day
Of the rest of your life
And it's right there waiting
And it's right there waiting
So wake up
For the very first time
To something special
Yeah something special
Oh you get off now
Self medicating
Well I'm now back on the hour
This pretty girl
Never changed the world
No she never learned to see
Her tunnel vision brings her straight to me
So shut up and listen
*chorus
When you feel like falling down
I will pick you up
I will pick you up
Oh and when you are afraid to land
I will take your hand
I will take your hand
*chorus
It's the first day
Of the rest of your life
And it's right here waiting
And it's right here waiting
So wake up
For the very first time
To something special
Yeah someone special
The broken branches always light the fire
The pretty stones, never decompose
They never learn to breathe
Your empty words they never get to me
So shut up and listen
*chorus*
It's the first day
Of the rest of your life
And it's right there waiting
And it's right there waiting
So wake up
For the very first time
To something special
Yeah something special
Oh you get off now
Self medicating
Well I'm now back on the hour
This pretty girl
Never changed the world
No she never learned to see
Her tunnel vision brings her straight to me
So shut up and listen
*chorus
When you feel like falling down
I will pick you up
I will pick you up
Oh and when you are afraid to land
I will take your hand
I will take your hand
*chorus
It's the first day
Of the rest of your life
And it's right here waiting
And it's right here waiting
So wake up
For the very first time
To something special
Yeah someone special
