Birthday - Royal Canoe

Why you go on talking?

You know how it’ll end

No one’s really listening

But we can all pretend

There’s movement in the water

And we’re all getting out

You’ve been there while you’re dreaming

Haven’t you?

Don’t you know it’s inevitable

But if you call it too soon you’ve got to both show, both show

Where you go when you’re closing your eyes on your birthday?

It only comes true when you don’t say, don’t say

It’s not about you, it’s gonna happen without you

So careful when you smile

A perfect little bend

It’s just a flexing of a muscle

But we can all pretend

Don’t you know it’s inevitable

But if you call it too soon you’ve got to both show, both show

Where you go when you’re closing your eyes on your birthday?

It only comes true when you don’t say, don’t say

It’s not about you, it’s gonna happen without you
