The window is open, so’s that door
I didn’t know they did that anymore,
who knew we owned eight 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.
But wow, am I so ready for this change?
‘Cause 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 that zone.
‘Cause for the first time in forever…
I won’t be alone.
Tonight imagine me gown and all,
fetchingly draped against the wall,
the picture of sophisticated grace.
Ooh, 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 led 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 is 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)
It’s agony to wait
(It’s agony to wait)
Tell the guards to open up the gate
(the gate)
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.
‘Cause for the first time in forever
For the first time in forever
Nothing’s in my way!
