Track 2 from The Hooded Crow

lyrics

I was a fragile sort-of boy
I couldn’t make out my own voice
Over the music playing
I met you in the bathroom stall
Your mouth like honey catching all
The words I couldn’t say
At Jonathan’s birthday

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da

We took a picture on your phone
Your eyes were big I turned to stone
And then you walked away
I found you hanging with your friends
You called me over
I pretended that I knew your name

The drinks were getting to my head
You told me you would never dance alone
What could I say
We were surrounded by a crowd
The air was thick, the voices loud
And we began to sway
At Jonathan’s birthday

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da

And at your house the moon looked red
As I was dangling off the edge
And night turned into day
Your hair was glistening and black
You put your head down in my lap
I asked, are you okay

You said that Johnny was a guy
But not just any one
You’d liked him since the seventh grade
And for a moment I was still
I leaned in and got closer till
I couldn’t see your face
On Jonathan’s birthday

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da

And one year later it is fall
I see you standing in the hall
And you still look the same
I know our secret’s better kept
But I still hate it that I let
A good thing slip away

But in the end I’ll be alright
‘Cause you were never really mine
And I’m the one to blame

Then John comes running with his friends
He kisses you and I remember
It like yesterday
It’s Jonathan’s birthday

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da

It’s Jonathan’s

Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da
Da da da da da da
