Kristen Bell – For The First Time In Forever Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kristen]
The window is open, so’s that door ⁴³
I didn’t know they did that anymore
Who knew we owned eight thousand salad plates? ⁴⁴
For years I’ve roamed these empty halls
Why have a ballroom with no balls?
Finally they’re opening the gates ⁴⁵

[Pre-Chorus: Kristen]
There’ll be actual, real-life people
It’ll be totally strange
Wow, am I so ready for this change ⁴⁶

[Chorus 1: Kristen]
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 ⁴⁷
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 ⁴⁸

I can’t wait to meet everyone!
Oh, what if I meet the one? ⁴⁹

[Verse 2: Kristen]
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 ⁵⁰

[Pre-Chorus: Kristen]
But then we laugh and talk all evening
Which is totally bizarre
Nothing like the life I’ve lead so far ⁵¹

[Chorus 2: Kristen]
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 ⁵²

[Bridge: Idina]
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 ⁵³

[Climb: Idina (and Kristen)]
But it’s only for today (it’s only for today)
This agony awaits (this agony awaits)
Tell the guards to open up the gates (the gates) ⁵⁴

[Chorus 3: Kristen (and Idina)]
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) ⁵⁵

[Coda: Kristen]
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! ⁵⁶
