Ben Folds & Nick Hornby - Claire's Ninth lyrics

So she stands and waits And waits at the school gate They're late, they come, so dumb In two cars when they agreed one And it's gone wild On her birthday So they go to Joe's For pizza and ice cream They sit and stare And Claire just wants to be 9 and a half Next year she'll tell them She only wants world peace But Claire, Claire, baby I wish you knew how this all got twisted I wish you could see right inside us Some of this stuff the best of us That we can't get out What's the point of this? What's wrong with two birthdays? It's cool at school Her friends, they all have two birthdays Aw, Jeez, he just asked the waitress Out on a date on her birthday But Claire, Claire, baby I wish you knew how this all got twisted I wish you could see right inside us Some of this stuff The best of us that we can't get to Here's the check They pay with two cards Like they've never met Goodbyes outside, it's cold in L.A Claire, Claire, baby I wish you knew how this all got twisted I wish you could see right inside us The best of us, the most of us You're what we were You're all that's left It used to be our birthday too
