The Birthday - Licorice Lyrics

Your friends are where my fascination ends
And if you're so inclined maybe you should go with them
And you stay out till the sun is on the floor
Come after hours you're at my door

The only difference is you never stay the night
Neither do I
You like to kiss me but you never shut your eyes
Neither do I

Oh wouldn't it be grand, wouldn't it be mad
If we stayed here forever
Wouldn't it be dumb, wouldn't it be vile
If you would say you'd pretend for a while
Just for a while

Play until the sunlight gives you up
Out of eye rolls and an almost empty cup
I know you'll think of me when you're alone
When you finally tire from being cold

You paint my picture but you never get it right
Neither do I
You taste like licorice you told me you don't like
Neither do I

Oh wouldn't it be grand, wouldn't it be mad
If we stayed here forever
We could be happy, do what you can
Never be boring, promise you that
Promise you that

Oh wouldn't it be grand, wouldn't it be mad
If we stayed here forever
Wouldn't it be dumb, wouldn't it be vile
If you would say you'd pretend for a while
We could be happy, do what you can
Never be boring, promise you that
Promise you that
