Every single birthday
I promise I am gonna change but
I can never take the first step
Every single New Year’s
I promise there’ll be no more tears but
I can only take what I get
What I get is that you will
Never, never, never let go,
What I feel is that you may
Never, never, never
Wanna know, me for, who I, really am
Every single Hanukkah,
I promise I am gonna come
Shimming out of my shell
Every single Rosh Hashanah
Shrouded in a hallelujah
Listen for the holiest knell
What I hear is that you will
Never, never, never let go,
What I fear is that you may
Never, never, never
Wanna know, me for, who I, really am
Every single birthday teeth
Sink into a cupcake
I’m lonely as a grain of loose sand
Every single New Year’s
I promise there’ll be no more tears,
Oh but for a dose of dry land
What I hope is that you’ll
Someday, someday, someday let go,
What I wish is that you will
one day, one day, one day
Wanna know, me for, who I, really am
