For The First Time

I was lost in my head

I was lost for years

Couldn’t see past my own eyes

Couldn’t quiet the mirrors

Thought I could fix the whole world

If I could just fix myself

But after all of the repairs

My eyes were still an empty house

‘Til I saw you first the time

I saw you for the first time

You opened my eyes

I saw everything

For the first time

I will never forget it

I could never

‘Cause you took my world and spun it on it’s head

Now every December when the cold hits my neck

It reminds me of when I saw

You first the time

I saw you for the first time

You opened my eyes

I saw everything

Like the sun shining down on the earth below

Like the moon off the lake and the afterglow

Swear I’ll love you ‘til the day that I have to go

And even then I’ll want you to know

When I see you for the last time

You opened my eyes

To beautiful things

Oh, I saw everything

Because you were mine
