Birthday Cake

(álbum: This Is War - 2015)

I wanna be a famous singer
Would you be my band
Travel the world together
You can hold my hand
Crossing paths from the airplane
To the terminal gate
Hope we're meant for each other
Hope that love is our fate
Life feels like a world when
You've been watching paint dry
Can't steady the current
No matter how hard I try
We could all use an anchor
You're not afraid of the sea
Let's go dive in together
Put your hooks in me

[Audience snaps through chorus]
And boy you really got me after birthday cake
Making out on my friend's new couch
So call me any night, any day of the week
I wanna learn what you're all about
And I know I'm far away but this is just the start
And if we make it past
The first little part
We can fly around the world in the very same plane
We could share a life
Share a name
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

I wanna live in New York City
When I'm old and grey
You say you're gonna come visit me
See a Broadway play
Snow has just started falling
I hope you'll come around soon
My apartment is tiny
But I think there's enough room for you

[Audience snaps through chorus]
Yeah boy you really got me after birthday cake
Making love on my friend's spare bed
And I can't seem to face
Walking out the park gates
Get your face outta my head
And I know I'm far away but this is just the start
And if we make it past
The first little part
We could fly around the world in the very same plane
We could share a life
Share a name
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm

And you're sayin too much
Way too soon
Well my only confidant is this empty room
And my only response is the echo on my voice
When I'm falling in love
It's like I have no choice
From my heart, to my throat, to my lips, to the air
I don't wish for much
But I wish you were here
We need to check this out
Oh check me in
I'm not Into playing games
But I do fight to win

[Audience snaps through chorus]
And boy you really got me after birthday cake
Making love on my friend's spare bed
And I can't seem to face walking out the park gates
Get your face outta my head
And I know I'm far away but this is just the start
And if we make it past
The first little part
We could fly around the world in the very same plane
We could share a life
Share a name
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mm-mm-mm-mm-mm
Mmm
