[Verse 1]
Little sister
Smart mouth
Sharp like July
Roll your eyes
At the mess we call our lives
You’re angry and you’re laughing
In the very same breath
Cracking jokes at the wake
Till we’re crying again
[Chorus]
Happy birthday
Little hurricane
You blow through the ache
Through the old remains
You’re the sweet soul
Holding all these broken lines
Happy birthday from the ones left behind
[Verse 2]
You say you’re fine
Set in your ways
You stay in your room
But I see the armor
Kicked off in the corner by your shoes
You chase down loneliness
With late-night TV glow
Still somehow you answer
Every time I phone
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
We’re two tired hearts
Same scars
Different names
You drag me out of bed
I drag you out of shame
If love is what is left
When all the noise runs dry
Then it’s you and me
Kid
You and I
[Chorus]
