Birthdays Lyrics by TOWNS

sentimental slowdown

2024

[Verse 1]
Said I was in it for the long ride, maybe not a long time
But I let myself go
I found some closure in the kitchen where I make decisions
And get takeaway to go
They said I gotta do my taxes, what the hell are faxes?
And why does hair go grey?
You mean it goes something like this? Misery is righteous
Does someone know the way?

[Chorus]
Day by day, we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream, "Why me, oh, me?"
As if wе don't need therapy
You read a book that says you'll die
Just by thе age of thirty-five
So pour some tea, the joke's on me
I guess I'll just build the marquee

[Verse 2]
Even at your best-dressed, wrinkles hard to digest
With no one else to blame
And you worry 'bout a blood test and the pain in your chest
It's all time down the drain
You don't know, you don't know anything
Sleep well and rest up your hamstring
We all grow, we all grow for something
All or nothing

[Chorus]
Day by day, we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream, "Why me, oh, me?"
As if we don't need therapy
You read a book that says you'll die
Just by the age of thirty-five
So pour some tea, the joke's on me
I guess I'll just build the marquee

[Bridge]
You don't know, you don't know anything
Sleep well and rest up your hamstring
You don't show, you don't show your G-string
Tell Bob you worked on your back swing

[Chorus]
Day by day, we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream, "Why me, oh, me?"
As if we don't need therapy
You read a book that says you'll die
Just by the age of thirty-five
So pour some tea, the joke's on me
We all grow, we all grow for something
Day by day, we push away
The candles on our birthday cake
We kick and scream, "Why me, oh, me?"
As if we don't need therapy
You read a book that says you'll die
Just by the age of thirty-five
So pour some tea, the joke's on me
I guess I'll just build the marquee

[Outro]
We all grow, we all grow for something
You don't owe, you don't owe me nothing
