| So she stands and waits and waits at the school gate
|
| They’re late, they come, so dumb
|
| In two cars when they agreed one
|
| And it’s gone wrong on her birthday
|
| So they go to Joe’s for pizza and ice cream
|
| They sit and stare and Claire just wants to be 9 and a half
|
| Next year she’ll tell them she only wants world peace
|
| But Claire, Claire baby
|
| I wish you knew how this all got twisted
|
| I wish you could see right inside us
|
| 'Cause all of this stuff, the best of us that we can’t get out
|
| What’s the point of this
|
| What’s wrong with two birthdays
|
| It’s cool at school
|
| Her friends, they all have two birthdays
|
| Oh geez, he just asked the waitress out on a date on her birthday
|
| But Claire, Claire baby
|
| I wish you knew how this all got twisted
|
| I wish you could see right inside us
|
| 'Cause all of this stuff, the best of us that we can’t get to Here’s the check
|
| They pay with two cards like they’ve never met
|
| Goodbyes outside; |
| it’s cold in LA
|
| Claire, Claire baby
|
| I wish you knew how this all got twisted
|
| I wish you could see right inside us The best of us for most of us Or what we were, you’re all that’s left
|
| It used to be our birthday too |
