Birthday Cake
Said you'd be there
Said you'd be there from the start
Said you'd be there
Said you'd be there and you are
You took for granted
Seeds we planted when we were young
And you're the comfort
You're the doc leaf when I'm stung
Oh, surely these candles aren't mine
They take up a lot of the space on this cake
Oh, I feel like we're growing old
Faster than what we were told
Who will care when we go?
So will you be there?
When I'm broken, bruised and stuck
'Cause I don't read much
But I like doing things by the book
I will try to
I will try to leave a mark
But we're designed to
We're designed to fade like scars
Oh, surely these candles aren't mine
They take up a lot of the space on this cake
Oh, I feel like we're growing old
Faster than what we were told
Who will care when we go?
Said you'd be there from the start
Said you'd be there
Said you'd be there and you are
You took for granted
Seeds we planted when we were young
And you're the comfort
You're the doc leaf when I'm stung
Oh, surely these candles aren't mine
They take up a lot of the space on this cake
Oh, I feel like we're growing old
Faster than what we were told
Who will care when we go?
So will you be there?
When I'm broken, bruised and stuck
'Cause I don't read much
But I like doing things by the book
I will try to
I will try to leave a mark
But we're designed to
We're designed to fade like scars
Oh, surely these candles aren't mine
They take up a lot of the space on this cake
Oh, I feel like we're growing old
Faster than what we were told
Who will care when we go?
