Birthday Girl

Early morning, autumn light
Whitewashed walls and children playing
The air is still, I smell the bakery

Lying here in last night's clothes
Mexican girls in sunday dresses
Fill the sidewalks up guerrero street

Save me, I get lost so easy
C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl
The rains came, turned all the hills green
Turned the dirt to flowers, birthday girl, my birthday girl

Just because you learn to breathe, underwater doesn't mean
You ever shake the fear of being drowned
Between the sparks and junkyard thoughts
The things I stole, the things I lost
You could build a city in my head, in my head

Save me, I get lost so easy
C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl
The rains came, turned all the hills green
Turned my dirt to flowers, birthday girl

I don't know what to do, once this gets started
I never meant to be so broken-hearted
Save me, I get lost so easy
Turn my dirt to flowers, birthday girl, my birthday girl

Save me, I get lost so easy
C'mon and lift the fog, my birthday girl
The rains came, turned all the hills green
Turned my dirt to flowers, birthday girl

I don't know what to do, once this gets started
I never meant to be so broken-hearted
Baby, c'mon and save me
Turn my dirt to flowers, birthday girl, my birthday girl
