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!

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!
