lyrics

It’s your birthday baby
And the world’s not right
Feel free to cry about it now
It’s your party tonight
It’s your party

It’s your birthday baby
So see god in yourself
Tears are holy water
Bottle them and put them on the shelf
For your darkest day
For your darkest day

Forget the score now
Precious, take your bow
Today your demons
Are sleeping
It’s their birthday too

This day here’s for you my love
Fill it with your things
Its edges mold to fit around
Only what you bring
Only what you bring

Laid inside your secret box
Baby teeth and letters from someone you lost
Laid inside your wooden chest
A ball of white yarn that your auntie had left
Lay your whole day right inside
Lay your whole day right inside

Forget the score now
Precious, take your bow
Today your demons
Are sleeping
It’s their birthday too

It’s your birthday baby
And it’s ok to hurt
Burn the edges slowly
This page is nearly turned


I falter while I write these words
I still feel very small
Years move on and I feel still
I know nothing at all
I really know it all
I’ve lost it once again
I know just what I need
To be your darling friend
To be your darling friend
