Today Is the First Day of the Rest of Our Lives

[Verse 1]
How many times that I've told you that I love you
And I want you by my side
You say you've heard those words before
You crawled behind your mask once more to hide

[Chorus]
And I remind you your before's are all behind you
And we're living in the now
And we'll deal with tomorrow when tomorrow arrives
'Til then today is the first day of the rest of our lives

[Verse 2]
You tell me nothing ever changes
That life is just a river of routine
And love's a game of dirty tricks
That's played upon a fiеld of broken dreams

[Chorus]
Then I rеmind you your before's are all behind you
And we're living in the now
And we'll deal with tomorrow when tomorrow arrives
'Til then today is the first day of the rest of our lives

[Verse 3]
In your maze of imagining's
You finger paint a pathway to your star
You follow blindly never knowing where you're going
Is precisely where you are

[Chorus]
Then I remind you your before's are all behind you
And we're living in the now
And we'll deal with tomorrow when tomorrow arrives
'Til then today is the first day of the rest of our lives

[Verse 4]
From the bottom of the ocean
You surmise it might be wise to learn to swim
So rising to your purpose you ascend up to the surface
And begin

[Chorus 2]
Then our before's no longer behind us
As we drift upon the waters of the now
And our tomorrow seize to blind us 'cause they never arrive
As we make each day the first day, make each day the first day
Make each day the first day of the rest of our lives

[Outro]
Stay, stay, stay, stay
For the rest of our lives
