Birthday Cake - Circa Waves

Said you’d be there

Said you’d be there from the start

Said you’d be there

Said you’d be there and you are

You took for granted

Seeds we planted when we were young

And you’re the comfort

You’re the doc leaf when I’m stung

Oh, surely these candles aren’t mine

They take up a lot of the space on this cake

Oh, I feel like we’re growing old

Faster than what we were told

Who will care when we go?

So will you be there?

When I’m broken, bruised and stuck

‘Cause I don’t read much

But I like doing things by the book

I will try to

I will try to leave a mark

But we’re designed to

We’re designed to fade like scars

Oh, surely these candles aren’t mine

They take up a lot of the space on this cake

Oh, I feel like we’re growing old

Faster than what we were told

Who will care when we go?
