Your Birthday Cake

Hello mama dearest don't you know that I love you
I know I don't say enough, but I do
It's the same love you feel at the end of the world
When there's nothing in the sky but ocean's blue
I'll treat you to the sun, and then I'll treat you to the moon
The stars will be on fire, and they'll float all around you
Until the storm comes, and I bottle you up
Keep you in a jar inside my room

I don't know how I did
What I did to you
I don't know how to make it right

Sitting in this chair just right across from you
Made a wish, my god, I really hope it came true
Then you blue out the candle with the help of a child
The number thirty still embedded inside of you
Twenty years later, I'm laying in a fire
This place did not exist as a little child
Still late at night I dream of somewhere I went wrong
That lead me to this place so far from you

Sometimes, it's hard to get up for work
Yeah, sometimes, it's hard to get up at all
But I know it's not over till I make it
All these wrongs I make right
Until we're strong like the rope
That hangs my head
We'll be the rope
That hangs my head

Maybe someday on our last day living
You'll make a wish
It will come true
I'll help you push that air
To the candle
Then we'll float
We'll float
We'll float
