Birthdays Lyrics

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

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

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
