Bright Eyes Happy Birthday To Me Lyrics

Happy Birthday To Me Lyrics

All eyes on the calendar
Another year I claim of total indifference
To
here, the days pile up
With decisions to be made, I'm sure all of them were
wrong
Into this song I send myself
And with these drinks I plan to
collapse
And forget this wasted year, these wasted years
Devoted friends,
they disappear
And I'm sorry about the phone call and needing you
Some
decisions you don't make
I guess it's just like breathing and not wanting
to
There are some things you can't fake 
I guess that it's typical
To
cling to memories you'll never get back again
And to sort through old
photographs
Of a summer long ago or a friend that you used to know
And
there below 
His frozen face
You wrote the name and that ancient date,
that ancient date
And you can't believe that he's really gone
When all
that's left is a fucking song and 
I'm sorry about the phone call; and
waking you.
I know that it is late,
But thank you for talking, because I
needed to.
Some things just can't wait.
(Yeah, some things just can't
wait)
