For The First Time In Forever
Kristen Bell and Idina Menze Lyrics

The window is open!
The window is open!

So's that door!
So's that door!

I didn't know they did that anymore!
I didn't know they did that anymore!

Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates?

For years I've roamed these empty halls
For years I've spent time wandering around these halls without seeing anyone or enjoying myself

Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Why have a ballroom that hasn't been used?

Finally they're opening up the gates!
Finally they're allowing people to enter.

There'll be actual real live people
There'll be people who are actually alive and not just part of a painting, for example

It'll be totally strange
It'll be an experience that I'm not used to and is completely unfamiliar.

But wow! Am I so ready for this change
But wow! I'm so ready for this change.

'Cause for the first time in forever
'Cause for the first time in forever

There'll be music, there'll be light!
There'll be music and light!

For the first time in forever
For the first time in forever

I'll be dancing through the night
I'll be dancing all night long.

Don't know if I'm elated or gassy
I don't know whether I'm happy and excited or if I just have gas.

But I'm somewhere in that zone!
But I'm somewhere in the range of being happy and excited or just having gas.

'Cause for the first time in forever
'Cause for the first time in forever

I won't be alone
I won't be alone.

I can't wait to meet everyone!
I'm excited to meet everyone!

What if I meet. The one?
What if I meet the love of my life?

Tonight, imagine me gown and all
Tonight, imagine me wearing a beautiful gown and looking glamorous.

Fetchingly draped against the wall
Looking effortlessly beautiful while leaning against the wall.

The picture of sophisticated grace
The perfect image of being sophisticated and graceful.

Ooh!
A sound of excitement and anticipation.

I suddenly see him standing there
I suddenly see him (the love interest) standing there

A beautiful stranger, tall and fair
A beautiful and unknown stranger, who is tall and fair-skinned.

I wanna stuff some chocolate in my face!
I want to eat some chocolate.

But then we laugh and talk all evening
But we end up laughing and talking all evening.

Which is totally bizarre
Which is completely unexpected and strange.

Nothing like the life I've lead so far!
Nothing like the life I've experienced until now.

There'll be magic, there'll be fun!
There'll be magic and fun!

I could be noticed by someone
I could be noticed by someone (i.e. the love interest)

And I know it is totally crazy
And I know it's completely crazy.

To dream I'd find romance
To dream that I'll finally find love

At least I've got a chance!
At least I have a chance to find love.

Don't let them in
Don't let them (i.e. others) in.

Don't let them see
Don't let them see (the real me).

Be the good girl
Behave like the good girl that I'm expected to be.

You always have to be
That I'm always expected to be.

Conceal
Hide all of my emotions.

Don't feel
Don't feel any emotions.

Put on a show
Pretend to be a different person for show.

Make one wrong move
Make one bad decision or mistake.

And everyone will know
And everyone will be able to see what I've done wrong.

But it's only for today
But these expectations are only for today.

It's agony to wait
It's a pain to wait for this day.

Tell the guards to open up the gate!
Tell the guards to open the gate so we can all enter.

I'm getting what I'm dreaming of!
I'm finally getting what I've been dreaming of.

A chance to change my lonely world
A chance to change my world of loneliness.

A chance to find true love!
A chance to find true love!

I know it all ends tomorrow
I know that this day will come to an end tomorrow.

So it has to be today!
So it has to be today!

Nothing's in my way!
Nothing is stopping me from achieving what I want today!
