Birthday - Rachael Sage

Every single birthday I

Promise I am gonna change, but

I can never take the first step

Every single New Year’s I

Promise there’ll be no more tears

I can only take what I get

What I get is that you will never, never, never let go

What I feel is that you may never, never, never wanna know

Me for

Who I

Really am

Every single Hanukkah

I promise I am gonna come

Shimmying out of my shell

Every single Rosh Hashanah

Shrouded in a hallelujah

Listen for the holiest vow

What I hear is that you will never, never, never let go

What I fear is that you may never, never, never wanna know

Me for

Who I

Really am

Ba da da

Ba da-da da

Every single birthday teeth

Sink into a cupcake I’m

Lonely as a grain of loose sand

Every single New Year’s I

Promise there’ll be no more tears

Oh, but for a dose of dry land

What I hope is that you will someday, someday, someday let go

What I wish is that you will one day, one day, one day wanna know

Me for

Who I

Really am

Ba da da

Ba da-da da

Ba da da

Ba da da

Ba da-da da
