Lyrics:

Got a call from my mother who wishes she was here
A couple cards in the post that I’m reading
I want the warmth of the summer, the cold too cold to bear
The only plus is the sweater, I need it
I broke apart from my lover a couple months ago
If they were here then I guess I wouldn’t be alone
This is the life in the city and that’s the way it goes
But it’s a fine excuse just to leave it

I hit em up and I asked are you coming over?
All I got was a shrug and an I don’t know

Everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don’t want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we’re here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone

I hit a bar in town, give my card to start a tab
Every day that we’re here well we’re never getting back
So I’ll drink for the confidence coz that’s what I lack
And end up talking to strangers and find another plan
I end the night in cab, head spinning on my own
Watching pointless shit and flicking through my phone
Would April be better? I guess I’ll never know
I take the keys from my pocket and stumble into home

I feel low but I guess I could feel lower
I’m heading down and now I’m on a roll

Everyone I know is hidden away
Trying to make their bodies clean again
And they don’t want to celebrate
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Always the month when parties come to an end
The same excuses from every friend
Another year and now we’re here again
Nobody cares this is the day I was born
Another birthday alone
