happy birth-day. or, "would you be my godmother?"

I CRIED IN YOUR ARMS
and it was the first time
cross your fingers for no next time but i'm not making any promises
i'm a cancer, baby
you know what they say about a cancer and a taurus.
THEY'RE COMFORTABLE
"you see, with him and i; he has his life with his work and friends and family and i have my life with my work and friends and family and then, then we have our life together. and i think that's the way it should be."
YOU'RE THE BEST
along with the girls and the kids from class
who knew that growing up could be so easy
I DIDN'T
...expect anything from either of you
but the world is weird and life is even worse
and once you make sense of it you get bored
ONLY BORING PEOPLE ARE BORED
mi scusi, ma io beva un po 'più di quanto dovrei stasera
"if it's your birthday then why aren't you drinking?"
"i don't drink."
"so what do you do?"
"i'm a bartender."
AND I'M A BIG GIRL NOW
big enough for a relationship
big enough to be a godmother
big enough to drink anywhere in the country
big enough for this world
and big enough to cry. in your arms.
