Last year's wishes come back again A whole new year for me With one coming to an end Where part of me lost friends Time frame us to now is relative A birthday party and I haven't seen you since And somehow it's different And every now and again The thoughts get in my head And every now and again More than I admit And I guess I just noticed something has changed A quiet shift I can't give it a name It's not that deep but it still gets to me And I guess I'm just hoping you'll show up late Blow out a candle for my birthday A year to the date We started to drift away Looking back, it was in front of me At my party where I watched you leave early And now it all hits me That's when it started all happening A missed goodbye and I never got another chance Memories with a new lens And every now and again The thoughts get in my head And every now and again More than I admit And I guess I just noticed something has changed A quiet shift I can't give it a name It's not that deep but it still gets to me And I guess I'm just hoping you'll show up late Blow out a candle for my birthday A year to the date We started to drift away ... And I know sometimes It just ends up this way Go from friends to a feeling tied to a name ... No one loses and no one wins So why am thinking about you again It's not that deep but it still gets to me I thought of you and got sick from my cake Blew out the candles on the 28th A year to the date We started to drift away
