But come down the stairs in the morning, good morning Your birthday dress looks so pretty on you You see how they stare and adore you Adorning your cake with your candles, we all love you, too And true, there were bad times, I knew you were mad I was angry and hated the whole world and you But you were my best friend, will be the end I thank you, I love you for all that you are Well, I wore that T-shirt and you wore the band's merch Out at the World Tour, how we've come so far? And you came to the shows, though most were the same With the ladybird poster and screaming my name And you asked me where I am, I was speechless, I still am And our band, Cleveland, it was better with you So, while all the trees are surrounding you, please Don't get caught up in college with dreams of degrees I know it gets hard when the pine needles fall And we are all gone away, and it's you in that stall And I promise you now the west end isn't far Just pretend I'm a comer in my little red car And come down the stairs in the morning, good morning Your birthday dress looks so pretty on you
