[Verse 1: Evynne Hollens]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Evynne]
There'll be actual, real-life people
It'll be totally strange
Wow, am I so ready for this change

[Chorus 1: Evynne]
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 the zone
Cause for the first time in forever
I won't be alone

I can't wait to meet everyone!
Oh, what if I meet the one?
[Verse 2: Evynne]
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

[Pre-Chorus: Evynne]
But then we laugh and talk all evening
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I've led so far

[Chorus 2: Evynne]
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

[Bridge: Malinda]
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
[Climb: Evynne (and Malinda)]
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 gates (the gates)

[Chorus 3: Evynne (and Malinda)]
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)

[Coda: Evynne]
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!
