Birthday Baby (The Girl with No Smile)

Well, happy birthday, baby Everybody's here for you Happy birthday, baby Six candles lighting up the whole room Outdated kitchen full of smiles Everyone's standing around We take pictures so we remember who we are 25 years from now And I remember towers coming down First grade September I remember wondering why am I going home now? Daddy's crying, I ask why as apples turn to ash We take pictures so we remember who we are But you curse like your mother And you act like your father Your sister called back But your brother doesn't have your number So you drove by his house Now he's got a daughter, and they named her after you The girl with no smile, the girl with no smile You hide your heartbeat In a box under the bed But it makes too much noise down there So you swallow it up instead Now a pounding headache keeps you awake As you daydream through the night We take pictures so we remember who we are But you curse like your mother And you act like your father Your sister called back But your brother doesn't have your number So you drove by his house Now he's got a daughter, and they named her after you The girl with no smile, the girl with no smile I don't want to know what it feels like To be the rain in Seattle I don't want to know what it feels like To be the wind in Chicago And I don't want to know what it feels like To be the sunshine in L.A. Someday, when this life's done I'll come back as something you love I'll come back as something you can love Well, happy birthday, baby Everybody's here for you Happy birthday, baby One candle lighting up the whole room Outdated kitchen full of smiles Everyone's standing around We take pictures so we remember who we are
