birthday 03:10
lyrics
buy track
I thought I saw you on my birthday There on the corner by the arcade I was having such a good day Until I saw you and it all changed You were staring at your girlfriend I bet she's funnier than I am Guess that I was just your road test So she could drive off in the sunset Cause it always feels like everyone's moved on And I'm just left feeling everything too long Hate to have to shut the party down But I can't hide it now Cause I still get sad sometimes Yeah I still get sad sometimes I can't stop crying on my birthday I tried to stop it but there's no way My friends hate it when I complain So I'll just go home til the next day Cause it always feels like everyone's moved on And I'm just left feeling everything too long Hate to have to shut the party down But I can't hide it now Cause I still get sad sometimes Yeah I still get sad sometimes Yeah you make me sad sometimes Yeah you made me sad on my Maybe next year I'll get passed it Not even know where all the time went I'd like to think it was just one stint But then again I probably doubt it

i got what i asked for 03:11

Does it hurt to know You saw it along From our very first impressions I made you take me out Just to turn you down Then crawled right back The next morning I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I like to make the bed When you're still sleeping And pull the blinds up bright and early And whenever I feel down I pull you down with me Just so I don't Feel so lonely I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I got what I asked for Oh I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I got what I asked for Oh Don't say sorry baby It's not your fault Don't say sorry baby It's not your fault It always hurts to know I got here on my own I'm so good at missing chances I got what I asked for I got what I asked for I got what I asked for

kickball 03:20
lyrics

We were playing kickball in the summer When you first learned my name In the parking lot of the Catholic school Where the boys misbehaved I didn't wanna call home to my mother no I Just told my teammates to wait Picked the asphalt out of my kneecaps until All my nerves went away Guess I I guess I never had it in me Was trying so hard to be happy Thought you were everything I wanted But then it should've been so easy Threw an end of the year party Back at my parents' house You left early for some friend's going away And I never mentioned it I told you green was my favorite color Just so that we'd be the same Never wanted to cause any trouble Until the seasons changed Guess I I guess I never had it in me Was trying so hard to be happy Thought you were everything I wanted But then it should've been so easy Guess I I guess I never had it in me Was trying so hard to be happy Thought you were everything I wanted But then it should've been so easy

reach u 02:25
lyrics
buy track
It's always so hard to reach you I think I've worn out the ways that I could All the moments I need you I'm reciting your voicemail by heart I'm always thinking about you Always hoping you get what you want Maybe you could come over I'll make you dinner and just write it all off But it's never that simple But it's never too hard To show me that you'll come through Every once in a while It's gonna take getting used to To follow through with just calling you out But then I guess I'm the sad one If it's something that I can allow For too long But it's never that simple But it's never too hard To show me that you'll come through Every once in a while Every once in a while Yeah just once in a while Oh tried to reach you but It's just as well I'm done calling You for help Tried to reach you but It's just as well I'm done calling You for help Cause it's just as well And time does tell That it's never too simple But it's never too hard To show me that you'll come through Every once in a while

surviving 04:21
lyrics
buy track
I'll tell you When you're older I guess they never got around t it With my ear pressed To the bedroom I tried to make the conversation out Oh Stephen is mad Oh Danny is crying Mom and dad won't last But we say we're surviving Are we Silent At the table Utensils make the only sound Try and read the bodies But we were never visual learners Oh Stephen is mad Oh Danny is crying Mom and dad won't last But we say we're surviving Are we Family Is for learning For hurting and healing all at once I I hope I know you That you'd recognize me in another life Oh Stephen is mad Oh Danny is crying Mom and dad won't last But we say we're surviving Are we Are we

happiest woman 03:06
lyrics

I wanna live in California I always had expensive taste Cause nothing's ever good enough And I never learned to wait I made myself a habit Since I was just a kid Of making sure I'm getting All I could ever miss Cause then I'd be the happiest woman The happiest woman Then I'd be the happiest woman The happiest woman My baby wants the best for me He's been patient for so long But time's getting ahead of me When I wish it'd stay in place Cause then I'd be the happiest woman The happiest woman Then I'd be the happiest woman The happiest woman Then I'd be the happiest woman The happiest woman Then I'd be the happiest woman The happiest woman The happiest woman The happiest woman The happiest woman The happiest woman The happiest woman You'd ever seen That'd be me
