lyrics

I'm tryin' to fall asleep at my birthday party
its the longest party I've ever had
its been a week since it started
I'm tired, I'm sorry
a moment to myself at my birthday party

there's peanut butter cookies fresh out the oven
the louder ones are jammin' out on the porch
from my perspective, I might could use some lovin'
and someday when I find it, I'll pass the torch

(chorus:)
and when the hops have you sleepy
you can rest your head on my knee
cause the hardest part is in between
the twilight folly and the morning clean

she's got a bad heart and her boy can't mend it
there was a boy in pretty shoes and he left his book
there's a boy who wants my ear so that he can bend it
and a boy who'd have my heart if he'd only look

he's stumbling cause I think he had too much something
there's a girl who just came over to over to pick him up
there's a girl with lots to say if she'd just quit mumbling
when she moves to california she'll try her luck..

(chorus) x2

we're pickin up bottles the morning after
the sunlight at the silence replace the laughter
I'm feeling kinda queasy I should ride home
but it's still too early to be alone

(I don't wanna go to bed, I don't wanna go to bed)

I'm tryin' to fall asleep at my birthday party
its the longest party I've ever had
its been a week since it started
I'm tired, I'm sorry
a moment to myself at my birthday party (x2)
