about

'Birthday' is the second single from Siv Jakobsen's latest body of work.

lyrics

I got drunk on my birthday
Dancing on tables with my friends
You were late, sat in the corner saying nothing
Happy birthday

I’ve wasted all my time
My god it’s such a crime
And if I could go back now
I’d never go back in time
Somewhere beyond this life
You’re mine and we’re alright
But if I could go there I’d
Never, never go there

We’ll be old by Sunday
Take a swim in the marrow of my bones
And I’ll grow old in your brainwaves
Planting trees in the corners of your memories
Happy birthday

I’ve wasted all my time
My god it’s such a crime
And if I could go back now
I’d never go back in time
Somewhere beyond this life
You’re mine and we’re alright
But if I could go there I’d
Never, never go there

It’s a Monday feeling on a Friday evening
Downing dark and stormy’s to appease the lonely

I’ve wasted all my time
My god it’s such a crime
And if I could go back now
I’d never go back in time
Somewhere beyond this life
You’re mine and we’re alright
But if I could go there I’d
Never, never go there
