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 8000 salad plates?
For years I have roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally, they're opening up the gates
There'll be real, actual people
It'll be totally strange
But wow am I so ready for this change

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
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 change

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 leave my sister's world
A chance to find true love

Conceal
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!
