about

a great way to tell someone you care.

lyrics

So the original idea behind this concept was to write something for you for your birthday,
and I'm hoping that my lyrics will get across to you and be displayed in some hilarious array,
Now that you understand what I'm trying to achieve and we've got all of that out the way,
It leaves me with the minor issue of having no idea of what exactly I should say.

“yay, you're 20 years old now!” which is an alright age I guess,
and I'm only saying that because I've already been 20 and I really do have to confess,
that I've found nothing really changes, you're not making any real progress,
18 you can drink, 16 you can fuck, 20 you kinda feel like you're a little bit stuck.

But its not all bad and if you just thought I was being completely pessimistic,
I'm honestly not, this is just my outlook on life, I'm only being realistic,
but hey it's your special day, well that's what your parents lead you to believe,
it's just a day closer to death, well at least that's how it seems to me,

and I was going to buy you a present then I realised it'd just be some dumb old crap,
some junk you'd enjoy momentarily, with the worry of having to unwrap,
which is another point actually, why do people persist to wrap presents these days?
Building tension, creating suspension, not to mention feeling retention,
yeah, you heard me, I always buy gifts that I want to keep for myself,
but again, its just some old crap that would end up at the back of my shelf,

And with that I'll leave you alone to enjoy the rest of your birthday in peace,
I hope this hasn't soiled our friendship, if anything your like towards me should increase,
unless you didn't like the song, then I guess I'll have to leave you alone forever,
well, that's pretty much it. Same time next year I guess or whatever.
