1 Birthday Behind

I would've sent a postcard, darling I would have
If I thought you wanted to hear from me again
I know better than to go upset the world you live in
Sometimes things don't have the explanations that we'd like
Sometimes things don't add up and we learn to be alright
Numbers and the sciences always went over my head
I've always been better with my words than I've ever been with math

Four of your birthdays
With three of our best friends
In two different states
With one explanation
I loved you
How am I doing with my math?
I would've spent five
But forever ran dry
When those three little words
Became too hard to find
Now I'm one birthday behind

You loved the mountains
I loved the way you looked watching them
I planned to take you to the Carolinas in a van
I hope they take you instead
Maybe they'll end up with better math

We spent four of your birthdays
With three of our best friends
In two different states
With one explanation
I loved you
How am I doing with my math?
I would've spent five
But forever ran dry
When those three little words
Became too hard to find
Now I'm one birthday behind

How did I end up with numbers like that?
I think I went and forgot how to add
Where did you learn how to subtract like that?

Four of your birthdays
With three of our best friends
In two different states
With one explanation
I loved you
How am I doing with my math?
I would've spent five
But forever ran dry
When those three little words
Became too hard to find
Now I'm one birthday behind
