about

this song is about a girl calling to say "happy birthday" to me at 11:00 the day before my birthday.

everyone hates this song's title.

i will make up stories about how this song is about frosty the snowman saying "happy birthday" in that weird way he does ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=c8Y_Oh1Xb10 )

are you impressed with that guitar solo? don't be. i actually slowed down the recording and played it a lot slower than it came out. i am terrible at solos.

lyrics

i can't sleep
anymore than you can dream
no i can't sleep
but don't worry bout me oh no

cause i am livin
yeah i am alive
i've got visions
to keep in my vacant eyes

to see you
to see you
to see you walk away
to a better life

but i'll remember
when you stayed up all night
just to sing me
happy. birthday.

***********

so talk talk talk
but don't open your mouth
cause it hurts so bad
when all that comes out

is wishes and hopes
for holding hands
and hikes uphill
like toes in the sand

cause i don't
wanna wish anymore
wanna hope anymore
if you're not here

so i'll drink
myself to darkness
and replay in my head
you singing happy. birthday.
