[Verse 1]
You can hardly walk
Try to sleep it off
Lost your voice again
Don't talk

You won't let us down
Friday doesn't come
You waited all week long for this
Such a shame you'll miss
Every bit of it

[Chorus 1]
You're 26 today
Here comes the aftertaste
You're 26 today
Another piece of chocolate cake

[Verse 2]
Brake lights off and on
But no one ever stops
Saving up your sick days
With a steady cough

She needs more than love
But this is all you got
A heart that's halfway gone
And a head that's tied in knots
Don't tell me you forgot
[Chorus 2]
She's 36 today
Still has that aftertaste
She's 36 today
One more bite of chocolate cake

[Verse 3]
Almost out of room
So plan a trip to Mars
Send the kids to school
To find out what they are

And all the animals
Are waiting for their turn
Half a million tries [?]
But we couldn't save the world [?]
So we just let it burn [?]
