lyrics

What were you doing on my birthday
Yeah I got pictures in my head
You were so beautiful and untouched
And outlined in red

What were you doing on my birthday
Yeah I just wanted you in it
I kept wishing for it baby
But it didn’t happen did it

Your arms won’t fit around me like they used to
But that’s OK because I am OK with everything
And as long as I know my heart’s still beating
I will find a way

I guess that you could say I learned my lesson
I took too long to make a choice and it chose me
and I’ll settle for a life of second-guessing
but I know how it could be

Across the way my head is swimming in the static
across the people in the sea of listening
They're throwing limbs and adjectives
and camera flashes are distracting from the focus
but they don’t know me
