For the First Time in Forever (Demo) - Kristen Anderson-Lopez

[00:05.470]The window is open, so’s that door
[00:07.470]I didn’t know they did that anymore
[00:09.850]Who knew we owned a thousand salad plates?
[00:14.100]For years I’ve roamed these empty halls
[00:16.540]Why have a ballroom with no balls?
[00:18.910]Finally they’re opening up the gates
[00:23.170]There’ll be be happy smiling people
[00:25.970]It’ll be totally strange
[00:27.970]But why am I so ready for this change
[00:32.110]Cuz for the first time in forever
[00:36.540]There’ll be music, there’ll be light
[00:41.100]For the first time in forever
[00:45.720]I’ll be dancing through the night
[00:50.910]Don’t know if I’m elated or gassy
[00:53.160]But I’m somewhere in the zone
[00:56.090]Cuz for the first time in forever
[01:02.930]I won’t be alone
[01:08.120]Tonight imagine me gown and all,
[01:10.240]fetchingly draped against the wall
[01:12.490]A picture of sophisticated grace
[01:17.240]I suddenly see him standing there,
[01:19.310]a beautiful stranger, tall and fair
[01:21.550]I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face
[01:26.180]But then we laugh and talk all evening,
[01:28.310]Which is totally bizarre
[01:30.560]Nothing like the life I’ve lead so far
[01:35.120]For the first time in forever
[01:39.800]There’ll be magic, there’ll be fun
[01:44.240]For the first time in forever
[01:48.610]I could be noticed by someone
[01:53.240]And I know it’s totally crazy
[01:55.990]To dream I’d find romance
[01:58.810]But for the first time in forever
[02:04.800]At least I’ve got a chance
[02:11.430]Don’t let them in, don’t let them see
[02:15.800]Be the good girl you always have to be
[02:20.550]Conceal, don’t feel, put on a show
[02:26.620]Make one wrong move and everyone will know
[02:32.060]But it’s only for today (It’s only for today)
[02:34.990]This agony awaits (This agony awaits)
[02:37.490]Tell the guards to open up the gates (The gates)
[02:46.060]For the first time in forever
[02:49.520](Don’t let them in, don’t let them see)
[02:50.680]I’m getting what I’m dreaming of
[02:54.680](Be the good girl you always have to be)
[02:56.570]A chance to change my lonely world (Conceal)
[03:01.260]A chance to find true love
[03:04.450](Conceal, don’t feel, don’t let them know)
[03:06.590]I know it all ends tomorrow,
[03:08.940]So it has to be today
[03:11.930]Cuz for the first time in forever
[03:17.180]For the first time in forever
[03:24.430]Nothing’s in my way!
