Candles on my Cake

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I had a meeting in the morning all the way across town And I forgot to charge my car again and almost broke down I left my coffee on the roof and watched it puddle on the ground The sound of construction is so sharp on my brain When did the days begin to blur into a dull deja vu A cacophony of waiting for some caffeine to brew I'm no detective but I think I found a major clue Construe with however does it bring me pain [Pre-Chorus] I forgot what it was to breathe and be and think And now that I recall I can't believe the gall Of all the days I let escape I think I need an overhaul [Chorus] Where has the time gone, it's running away I don't know what I did to freak it out but now I'm giving chase Couldn't wait to grow up, oh what a huge mistake Now I collect every second don't wanna throw them away [Verse 2] Caught my reflection in the mirror and almost fell on the floor I didn't recognize the lines and monochrome of the pores I spun around and spat and bargained for the image before Restore the version of myself I know Took a step back and finally gave myself a second to breathe When did the saplings that we planted all spring up into trees I think I might have lost the plot why can't it all just freeze, reprise Cause I don't need my time to grow [Pre-Chorus] Wrote the year incorrectly once again in pen And the candles on my cake have gotta be a mistake Cause I could swear that only yesterday was 2008 [Chorus] Where has the time gone, it's running away I don't know what I did to freak it out but now I'm giving chase Couldn't wait to grow up, oh what a huge mistake Now I collect every second don't wanna throw them away [Bridge] When I was small the days were long And I wished that they would just move on Because there was so much I could not do But I now I wish I only knew That as we stretch out, the days get thinner Until we sprint from spring to winter Chasing seconds as they drop Trying to outrun the clock [Chorus] Where has the time gone, it's running away I don't know what I did to freak it out but now I'm giving chase Couldn't wait to grow up, oh what a huge mistake Now I collect every second don't wanna throw them away Where has the time gone, it's running away I don't know what I did to freak it out but now I'm giving chase Couldn't wait to grow up, oh what a huge mistake Now I collect every second don't wanna throw them away [Outro] Where has the, the time gone Where has the, the time gone Couldn't wait to grow up, oh what a huge mistake Now I collect every second don't wanna throw them away
