happy birthday (Midnights Edition)

We were fifteen
Met in Paris
Then this love began on Cornelia street
I was enchanted
And that was the moment I knew you belong with me

It was the best day of August
And you made the sparks fly with your gorgeous face
And on New Year's day
You made me your lover
It felt sweeter than fiction

You said "Let's run out of the woods
The fireworks were fun, but I know places for both of us
To never grow up
To dance under midnight rain
To begin the story of us in the best possible way!"

And when the daylight came, our parents were looking for us
And you asked me to stay, stay, stay
I said "We gotta go home,
But today was a fairytale"
It was such an innocent love story
And we were happy
Til seven years later
When we turned 22

Everything has changed
Now wonderland is just a glitch in our wildest dreams
I can no longer breathe
I question if there's a place in this world where I can live in peace

We were lost in a labyrinth
I was the mastermind
And you couldn't tolerate it, that was the last time
You called me babe in that lavender haze
Like the very first night

This is me trying to avoid the closure
But you said "It's time to go", and I should've said no
Our song is playing, but I'm all alone
Watching the teardrops on my guitar, waiting for you to call

It's all my fault, I did something bad
And I wish you would know that I want you back
I'll go back to December
I'd fight the great war and meet you in the afterglow
You know I'm ready for it
I'm only me when I'm with you
So come back, be here
I'll fix this sad beautiful tragic

Cuz you are the one
You're all that I want
We'll begin again
And I promise that I'll change
Yeah

It's been a cruel summer
The sun's maroon
And there's nothing new but heartache and pain
So I'll clean this mess
And wait for you to come in with the rain

I'm getting crazier
I'm haunted by the last kiss
Before we said goodbye
I remember it all too well
The love you held for me in your beautiful eyes
And then you showed up
On the other side of the door in your cardigan
Saying "I'm sorry for leaving
I should be a better man for you 'cuz you're my end game"

So it goes, Christmas came
Once again, it's New Year's Eve
I'm in a pretty dress
And you're on one knee
Hey...

I'd marry you even with paper rings
Don't even need any sweet nothing
I love you, you're mine, forever & always
Let's cheer to what's ours, and say:
"Happy birthday to 'us'"
