Lyrics

birthday girl
(words: s.wall. music: the walls)

here I’m all alone, soaked to the bone,
trekking over the hills
with the sea on every side
and when I get home, I check the phone,
but there’s no signal here.
I was hoping there just might.

chorus:
today you’re the birthday girl
and I wish you could hear these words
i should’ve said it long ago,
now it’s a lump in my throat
i just need to let you know,
I’ve not forgotten

rain spit by the wind, stinging my skin,
now I feel I’m alive
IT’S NOT THE SAME IN THE CITY
here I’m an exile, just for a while,
but I don’t want it to end
from a distance everything’s clear

chorus:
today you’re the birthday girl
and I wish you could hear these words
i should’ve said it long ago,
now it’s a lump in my throat
i just need to let you know,
I’ve not forgotten
