Birthdays

Spent the morning cleaning my room
In the hope you'd ask to see it soon
Let's pretend it's our birthday
Separated by a couple of years and I'll
Meet you on the corner of the water
In the Elizabeth Street Pier

Wanna be alone, wanna be surrounded
Wanna be transient, wanna be grounded
But all the dissonance disappears from me
When you drape an arm across my knee intentionally, lazily and

You will be the one
Looking confused
And I'll be the one
Looking for you

We are more than future housewives
More than the sum of our past lives
Two lovers in basically matching shirts
Jaywalk together across petrified earth
And if there's more to life
Let me forget all about it tonight
All I want occupying my mind
Is "what is the highest thing we can climb before sunrise?"

And you will be the one
In uncomfortable shoes
And I'll be the one
Who's probably too drunk but still offers to carry you
And you will be the one
You will be the one

And we'll laugh at everything so obvious
But in our hearts, we'll take it so serious
To the outside world, stay oblivious
To all of our friends, our actions will be hideous
And I'll be intense, and I'll be too much
And I'll get too high, and I'll get too drunk
But in between episodes
I will love you more than anyone you have ever known

And I don't mean to put the pressure on
You're gonna like my dad I know you'll love my mum and
I don't mean to put the pressure on
Got a few names for a daughter, can't think of one for a son
And I don't mean to put the pressure on
I don't mean to put the pressure on
I'd do anything
(I don't mean to put the pressure on)
I'm here to see this through
Anyway, hey, my name's Will
Ah, it's nice to meet you
