Birthday Cards Lyrics

Every year I forgot your birthday

So every year you're born again

Whatever became of the pieces that made us fit

The lint to your sweater, so long as I'm close to you it doesn't matter

And lenses compress our lives into pocket size moment

Yours reduced to the three favorite photographs

Compelling me to ask



Where have you been?

Who have you become since you've been away?

Where, oh have you been?

What the hell have you become?

I thought you were the one



To the search and rescue team: you'll never discover

The whereabouts of the lost boy with nothing to lose

You'll scan the cities; the streets, they connect everyone

Still we feel so far from what it means to live one by one

I gave this life hell and in a moment I'm taking it back

I gave this life hell and in a moment I'm taking you back to the place where this began

When we still had our innocence



Where have you been?

Who have you become since you've been away?

Where, oh have you been?

What the hell have you become?

I thought you were the one
