[Verse 1]
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

[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 2]
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 camе to the shows, though most were thе 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

[Verse 3]
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
[Outro]
And come down the stairs in the morning, good morning
Your birthday dress looks so pretty on you
