The window is open, so's that door
I didn't know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned a thousand salad plates?
For years I've roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally they're opening up the gates
There'll be actual real live people
It'll be totally strange
Wow, am I so ready for this change
'Cuz for the first time in forever
There'll be music, there'll be light
For the first time in forever
I'll be dancing through the night
Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
But I'm somewhere in the zone
'Cuz for the first time in forever
I won't be alone
I can't wait to meet everyone! (gasp)
What if I meet. the one?
Tonight imagine me gown and all, fetchingly draped against the wall
A picture of sophisticated grace
I suddenly see him standing there, a beautiful stranger, tall and fair
I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
But then we laugh and talk all evening,
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've lead so far
For the first time in forever
There'll be magic, there'll be fun
For the first time in forever
I could be noticed by someone
And I know it's totally crazy
To dream I'd find romance
But for the first time in forever
At least I've got a chance
Don't let them in, don't let them see
Be the good girl you always have to be
Conceal, don't feel, put on a show
Make one wrong move and everyone will know
But it's only for today (It's only for today)
This agony awaits (This agony awaits)
Tell the guards to open up the gates (The gates)
For the first time in forever (Don't let them in, don't let them see)
I'm getting what I'm dreaming of (Be the good girl you always have to be)
A chance to change my lonely world (Conceal)
A chance to find true love (Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know)
I know it all ends tomorrow,
So it has to be today
'Cuz for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
Nothing's in my way!
