Well I travel so far to be where you are I'm leaving this sad and lonely place You tell me receive but it's hard to believe That everyday can be my birthday (That I could live inside this grace) It's coming true all the things you promised me It's coming true all the day alive And I believe it's only time, yeah that's in my way now And I can leave this crooked line The mystery you are to me All the things you said I don't understand I realize now that it takes time Uh oh, it's my birthday Well I cut the cake, blow out the candles I'm staring down at my shoes So tell me why when you sing Happy birthday, receiving is so hard to do Happy birthday to you
