The Day I Was Born (Live from Danielle’s Living Room)

[Verse 1]

Got a call from my mother who wishes she was here

Couple of cards in the post that I'm readin'

I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear

The only plus is the sweater, I need it

I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago

If they were here, then I guess I wouldn't be alone

This is the life in the city and that's the way it goes

But it's a fine excuse just to leave it

[Pre-Chorus]

I hit 'em up and I asked, "Are you comin' over?"

And all I got was a shrug and an "I don't know"

[Chorus]

And everyone I know is hidden away

Tryin' to make their bodies clean again

They don't want to celebrate

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Always the month when parties come to an end

The same excuses from every friend

Another year and now we're here again

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

[Post-Chorus]

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

[Verse 2]

I hit a bar in town, get my card to start a tab

Every day that we're here, well, we're never gettin' back

And so I drink for the confidence 'cause that's what I lack

And end up talkin' to strangers to find another plan

I end the night in the cab, head spinnin', on my own

Watchin' pointless shit and flickin' through my phone

And would April be better? I guess I'll never know

I get the keys from my pocket and stumble into home

[Pre-Chorus]

I feel low, but I guess I could feel lower

I'm headin' down and now I'm on a roll

[Chorus]

'Cause everyone I know is hidden away

Tryin' to make their bodies clean again

And they don't want to celebrate

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Always the month when parties come to an end

The same excuses from every friend

Another year and now we're here again

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

[Post-Chorus]

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

[Pre-Chorus]

I hit 'em up and I asked, "Are you comin' over?"

And all I got was a shrug and an "I don't know"

[Chorus]

'Cause everyone I know is hidden away

Tryin' to make their bodies clean again

And they don't want to celebrate

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

Always the month when parties come to an end

The same excuses from every friend

Another year and now we're here again

Nobody cares this is the day I was born

[Post-Chorus]

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

Another birthday alone

La-la-lay, la-la-lay

[Outro]

Another birthday alone

Another birthday alone
