The Birthday Party Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hello
There's a place
I've been going
There's a place I've been going
Now I'm clean
It would seem
Let's go somewhere I'll be seen
As sad as it seems
I seen Greg and he was like
"I seen your friends at the birthday party
They were kinda fucked up before it even started
They were gonna go to the Pinegrove show
They didn't know about all the weird stuff
So they just left it" (So they just left it)
I was wasted (I was wasted)
And cold
And minding my business

[Verse 2]
And I seen the girls and they were all like
"Do you wanna come and get fucked up?"
Listen, I got myself a missus, says there can't be any kissing
"No, don't be a fridge, you better wise up, kid
It's all Adderall now, it doesn't make you wanna do it"

[Verse 3]
"This ain't going well"
I thought that I was stuck in Hell
In a boring conversation with a girl called Mel
About her friend in Cincinnati called Matty as well
You pulled away when I went in for the kiss
No, it wasn't a diss
You put the tap on to cover up the sound of your piss
After four years, don't you think I'm over all this?
"That's rich from a man who can't shit in a hotel room
He's gotta share for a bit"
You make a little hobby out of going to the lobby
To get things that they don't have

[Verse 4]
Does it go through ya when I'm talking to ya?
You know that I could sue ya if we're married
And you fuck up again
Impress myself with stealth and bad health
And my wealth and progressive causes
Then drink your kombucha and buy an Ed Ruscha
Surely, it's a print 'cause I'm not made of it
Look, the fucking state of it
I came pretty late to it
We can still be mates 'cause it's only a picture

[Outro]
All your friends
In one place
Oh, we're a scene
Whatever that means
I depend
On my friends
To stay clean
As sad as it seems
As sad as it seems (Alright)
As sad as it seems (Come on)

What have the artists said about the song?

It was the first thing that I wrote for this album that I knew was great. And it was the first thing that we got excited about. Inherently, excitement equals projection, [so it was originally going to be the first single]. And then we went off on tour and I wrote “People.” And we were like, “Right,...

What else have the artists said about the song?

I’ve always loved country music because it is just emo music. Country music is ‘'I’m going to live and die in this town with a smiley face’‘. And emo music is ’‘I’m going to live and die in this town with an unhappy face’‘. They’re exactly the same, just one is about really appreciating your small h...
