Today's the 8th anniversary of the day I was born
I've been alive exactly eight years today
My name is Joey and I can't see a more valid excuse
To have a wild, raging party than my birthday
So I invited all my friends to come and started making plans
For the greatest party 3rd grade's ever seen
All my closest friends and I would go to Skippy's Pizza-rama
They've got skeeball and these dancing chimpanzees
Every person in attendance would have candy all his own
And more pizza than an army could consume
I paid everyone's admission and I thought my heart would burst
With excitement as we walked into the room
But as I turned to see the joy on all the faces of my friends
I was shocked to see an empty space where they had all just been
I'm so alone
And it's my birthday
All by myself
What is the deal?
I'm the only person sitting at a table set for twelve
And I just can't help but think that this could be…how God must feel…how God must feel
My best friend Andy's sharing pizza that I bought with some dumb girl
And Steven Dobbs is playing air hockey with Jake
Kevin's paying Junior Highers with my tokens for his life
And I think Jeff is selling slices of my cake
Everywhere I look I see those who should be looking at me
It's my birthday after all but they don't care
I put so much into making this a party they would like
I guess I just thought they'd have gratitude to spare
But as I turned to see the joy on all the faces of my friends
I was shocked to see an empty space where they had all just been
I'm so alone
And it's my birthday
All by myself
What is the deal?
I'm the only person sitting at a table set for twelve
And I just can't help but think that this could be…
How God must feel…how God must feel
I'm so alone
And I'm their Savior
All by myself
What is the deal?
I'm the only one that saved them from the sins that held them down
And I just can't help but think that they don't care…how I might feel…
