Birthdays
Happy Birthday
And when I was six they told me I'm further
Than all those kids who weren't much older
I felt so smart, thought it would never get hard
Thought I was ahead, but boy I was blind
I moved the wrong way, was two steps behind
I felt so dense, was deceived with all my senses
It's not ok how birthdays make you realise
How fast time passes by
The older days are so far away
And I am just a mayfly
Clawing to its short life
Oh, birthdays nowadays make me cry
Oh, they make me cry
Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh uh
And now I'm afraid, I'm missing too much
While I'm just sitting here on my couch
I feel so lost, it's comfortable, but at what cost
I'd rather hole up than face all the things
That might slip through my fingers too quick
I am to blame that these days don't feel the same
It's not ok how birthdays make you realise
How fast time passes by
The older days are so far away
And I am just a mayfly
Clawing to its short life
Oh, birthdays nowadays make me cry
Oh, they make me cry
Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh uh
It's not ok how birthdays make you realise
How fast time passes by
The older days are so far away
And I am just a mayfly
Clawing to its short life
Oh, birthdays nowadays make me cry
Oh, they make me cry
And when I was six they told me I'm further
Than all those kids who weren't much older
I felt so smart, thought it would never get hard
Thought I was ahead, but boy I was blind
I moved the wrong way, was two steps behind
I felt so dense, was deceived with all my senses
It's not ok how birthdays make you realise
How fast time passes by
The older days are so far away
And I am just a mayfly
Clawing to its short life
Oh, birthdays nowadays make me cry
Oh, they make me cry
Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh uh
And now I'm afraid, I'm missing too much
While I'm just sitting here on my couch
I feel so lost, it's comfortable, but at what cost
I'd rather hole up than face all the things
That might slip through my fingers too quick
I am to blame that these days don't feel the same
It's not ok how birthdays make you realise
How fast time passes by
The older days are so far away
And I am just a mayfly
Clawing to its short life
Oh, birthdays nowadays make me cry
Oh, they make me cry
Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh uh uh
Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh, Uh uh uh uh
It's not ok how birthdays make you realise
How fast time passes by
The older days are so far away
And I am just a mayfly
Clawing to its short life
Oh, birthdays nowadays make me cry
Oh, they make me cry
