[Verse 1]
Once the gatekeepers decided
We would fade into the crowd
You took what makes you charming
And you turned it up too loud
Now how many songs does the band have to get through
Before you steal away the mic?
How many cakes do you have to jump out of
Before no one yells "surprise"?
[Verse 2]
I remember us both learning
That no one's dreams come true
They're either not quite how you saw them
Or the goalpost just gets moved
That's when you changed your expectations
And started rolling your third eye
But you still don't know the ending
You can't spoil the surprise
[Verse 3]
And now the nature of your birthday parties
Changed a lot for me
What was once a celebration
Feels like a shameless victory
I guess we all confuse our happiness
With what it takes to just survive
But the moment that the switch gets flipped
Is always a surprise
