Birthday Girl

Early morning, autumn light
White washed walls and children playing
The air is still, I smell the bakery
Lying here in last night's clothes
Mexican girls and 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
Turn 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 the 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

La la la la la la sha la la la la la la...

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