[Lyric] Birthday (Sophia Scott (AUS))

21’s my favourite number and November feels like summer
I love the love and celebration, a new age with no condemnation
But I fall short on expectations, reminder of an aftertaste
That’s better than a goddamn birthday cake

We went 365 to 1, the enticement has begun
I’ll smile, I’ll wave, act more thank okay
Like this party’s any fun

Riddle me this, how’d you used to be integral to my morning routine
But now I only hear from you on my birthday?
I only hear from you on my birthday

Flowеrs and tissue paper, streamеrs and anticipation
Fall by the wayside this time
For a hundred thoughtful wishes, your name is all I think of
Lighting up my phone tonight

We went 365 to 1, the enticement has begun
I’ll smile, I’ll wave, act more thank okay
Like this party’s any fun
But riddle me this, how’d you used to be integral to my morning routine
Now I only hear from you on my birthday?
I only hear from you on my birthday

Any day I can’t see past feels like an eternity
A stranger is tied up with the secrets I once saw as evergreen
Any day I can’t see past comes around eventually
I wish I couldn’t say I wasn’t waiting patiently

We went 365 to 1, I want this anguish to be gone
I’ll smile, I’ll wave, act more thank okay
Like this heart beats for none

Riddle me this, how’d you used to be integral to my morning routine
But now I only hear from you on my birthday?
I only hear from you on my birthday
I only hear from you on my birthday
