Andrew McMahon - Birthday Song lyrics

[Verse 1] You can pick yourself up You can start walking straight Tonight you're the life of the party When the bar lights come on at your paper parade You don't have to chase down the moon 'Cause I'll leave the light on for you [Chorus] It's not your birthday And it's not the fourth of July Tomorrow's a work day You've got a life and a spaceship to fly You've got a woman and a beautiful yellow-haired daughter Come back to earth, kid You know that you can't chase the stars underwater [Verse 2] You can play all the notes You can write all the words You headlined in all the big cities But when the spotlights are off and the crowds have gone home You could be going home too [Chorus] It's not your birthday This isn't Mardi Gras either Tomorrow's a work day You've got a life and a spaceship to fly You've got a good job and a beautiful yellow-haired daughter Come back to earth, kid You know that you can't chase the stars underwater [Chorus] It's not your birthday You should be done waking up on the floor Come back to earth, kid Don't you know you're not a kid anymore? You married a good girl She gave you this beautiful yellow-haired daughter Come back to earth, kid You know that you can't chase the stars underwater [Outro] No, it's not your birthday It's not your birthday It's not your birthday It's not your day So blow out your candles It's better than letting them burn out
