For the first time in forever

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!
