1995 Baby
1995 baby
we're a long way from East Winch
bet you never saw this coming
or pictured life like this
take the Triumph when the weather's good
drive somewhere just because
still got another plan
another way to rearrange the garage
Still got ideas written in your head
like we're nowhere near finished yet
1995 baby
still got things we wanna try
still talking about the future
like there's never enough time
Fortnite with the boys
coast drives in good weather
maybe the best days of our life
are ahead of us
one day we'll get there
You always thought life would make more sense
by the time we got this far
turns out there's always one more thing
one more place
one more start
still got one more idea
we swear we'll do someday
like paramotoring one summer
just because we can
Turns out growing up
isn't having all the answers
you just get better
at knowing what matters
1995 baby
hope this year surprises us
still got things we wanna try
still talking about the future
Fortnite with the boys
coast drives in good weather
maybe the best days of our life
are ahead of us
one day we'll get there
and Happy Birthday, Kid.
You're always checking in
making sure everybody's alright
picking people up
when they've had a rough night
you make it look easy
like you don't need help too
but I've been meaning to tell you
You don't have to carry everything
Cheer up boo
you're somebody too
all the things you'd say to me
still apply to you
take a breath
slow it down
you don't have to fix the whole world now
cheer up boo
you're somebody too
You always find the time
for everybody else
drop what you're doing
put your own stuff on the shelf
and I love that about you
I really do
just don't forget
it should count for you too
You don't have to carry everything
Cheer up boo
you're somebody too
all the things you'd say to me
still apply to you
take a day
switch it off
the world can wait a little while if it wants
cheer up boo
you're somebody too
You tell everyone else
to be kind to themselves
maybe try listening
for once
Cheer up boo
you're somebody too
all that love you give away
should come back to you
good days
bad days
we'll figure them out like we always do
cheer up boo
you're somebody too
Just in case you forgot
Three AM
who's crying now?
Oliver screaming
Wendy at the desk
cat sick in the hallway
clean it up I guess
inside cats
outside once
everybody panic
everybody run
Tiny babies
big opinions
tiny babies
need attention
Oliver
Wendy
Oliver
Wendy
cry cry cry
all night long
Oliver
Wendy
Oliver
Wendy
if he wants to go
he's gonna go
Water filter topped up
apparently that's wrong
under blankets
not anymore
business room
desk jump
nobody works now
Oliver
Wendy
Oliver
Wendy
tiny cats
big problems
Oliver
Wendy
Oliver
Wendy
who runs the house?
not us
Three AM
here we go again.
You like to hide sweets round the house
like little side quests
and act surprised when I find them
like hiding them wasn't half the point
sometimes you ask if your shirt smells clean
somehow I became quality control now
Hidden sweets in places I wouldn't look
and somehow you already know where I'll search
it's the little things
the random things
that accidentally become traditions
hidden sweets in places I wouldn't look
somehow those end up being the good bits
You still come to films with me sometimes
even though they're never your thing
and all the weird little routines
don't feel weird anymore
Hidden sweets in places I wouldn't look
and somehow you already know where I'll search
it's the little things
the random things
that accidentally become traditions
hidden sweets in places I wouldn't look
somehow those end up being the good bits
Nobody tells you
the good stuff looks ordinary
hidden in routines
and things you stop noticing
Hidden sweets in places I wouldn't look
still finding them where you left them
it's the little things
the random things
that accidentally become traditions
hidden sweets in places I wouldn't look
somehow those end up being the good bits
There's a cake in the kitchen
and balloons by the door
somebody's already started
singing way too early
you're pretending not to notice
all the fuss around the room
but everybody knows
who tonight belongs to
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Christian
Happy birthday to you
Another trip around the sun
another candle on the cake
another year of making plans
you'll probably change halfway through
everybody's got a story
everybody's got a toast
and somehow you're the reason
all these people showed up
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Christian
Happy birthday to you
Make a wish
don't tell anybody
that's supposed to be the rule
tonight's not for worrying
tonight's not for growing up
just another excuse
to celebrate you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Christian
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday to you
Happy birthday, Christian
Happy birthday from Andrew
Didn't know back then
that meeting you in Ely
would somehow turn into
all of this
didn't think back then
we'd still be here ten years later
some things don't seem important
until you look back at them
Nobody tells you
you only notice later
I'm glad we met
I'm glad we got this part
this chapter's one for the books
lucky we met
Back when everything felt unfamiliar
and I didn't know how things worked here
you taught me "proper" English
then called me Mexican anyway
had me trying new food
I never would've ordered myself
and somehow being this far from Texas
didn't feel so far anymore
Funny what becomes normal
when somebody makes space for you
I'm glad we met
I'm glad we got this part
this chapter's one for the books
lucky we met
Washing my dirty car
somehow always knowing what to do
new plans
turns we didn't see coming
stories nobody believes
and somehow you gave me
a place that felt like home
I'm glad we met
I'm glad we got this part
this chapter's one for the books
no matter where life takes us
lucky we met
Ten years later
I'm lucky we met
