Birthday

Cracked phone screen lights up my face Found that old list of dreams in a shoebox case Seventeen wrote down chase the sun Now I’m counting streetlights one by one Same streets but different shoes Same mirror but who’s who Another year meet myself again Laughing at the girl who thought she knew the end Another turn another lesson learned Still picking up the pieces as the pages burned Diner coffee stains on my resume Halfway through the plan I threw away That guitar still leans by the door Dusty strings hum what I ignore Same chords but different hands Same scars but softer lands Another year meet myself again Laughing at the girl who thought she knew the end Another turn another lesson learned Still picking up the pieces as the pages burned Midnight talks with the ceiling fan Whispers of the girl with the bigger plans She’s waving through the rearview glass Fading but never really pastAnother year meet myself again Meet myself again Meet myself again
