You hate all the candles on the cake
You say you'd rather go to your wake
Don't want to be reminded you're getting old
Those birthday wishes just leave you cold
No party hats, no cards, no balloons
You want us to leave you to your gloom

Getting older, going grey
Passing another milestone birthday
You hate the fuss, don't want the cheer
You wish this day would disappear
But even if you spend each one in tears
I hope you go on hating birthdays for many years

I'll raise a glass, I'll make a toast
To the old grump I love the most
Here's to all your birthday dread
To every snarky thing you've said
About how much you hate this day
But I hope it never goes away

Getting older, going grey
Passing another milestone birthday
You hate the fuss, don't want the cheer
You wish this day would disappear
But even if you spend each one in tears
I hope you go on hating birthdays for many years

Getting older, going grey
Passing another milestone birthday
You hate the fuss, don't want the cheer
You wish this day would disappear
But even if you spend each one in tears
I hope you go on hating birthdays for many years

Yeah, even if you spend each one in tears
I hope you go on hating birthdays for many, many years

Hating Birthdays

I know you're scared of heights
And that you'll fall from grace
But what's the point of living
If you always play it safe?

So take my hand
Let's climb a little higher
Take some risks
Get closer to the fire
The view from up here
Is something you should see
Love's a chance
Just fall with me
Yeah, fall with me
Please, fall with me

I know you're the type who always likes a sure bet
But do you really want to live life with regrets?
I know you think I'm a little crazy
But I can show you things you've never seen

So take my hand
Let's climb a little higher
Take some risks
Get closer to the fire
The view from up here
Is something you should see
Love's a chance
Just fall with me
Yeah, fall with me
Please, fall with me

Yeah, take my hand
Let's run a little farther
Find someplace where
The world won't be a bother
They say that love
Can set you free
So take the chance
And fall with me
Yeah, fall with me
Please, fall with me

I know you think I'm a little crazy
But what's the point of living
If you always play it safe?

So take my hand
Let's climb a little higher
Take some risks
Get closer to the fire
The view from up here
Is something you should see
Love's a chance
Just fall with me
Yeah, fall with me
Please, fall with me

So take the chance
And fall with me
Yeah, fall with me
Please, fall with me

Got my character sheet
Got my polyhedral dice
Got a big bag of Cheetos
Got Mountain Dew on ice
I'm ready to play
This tabletop game
First roll of the night
Well now, that's a shame

Oh I got the rolled a one blues
Sure would be nice if I could roll at least a two
But the dice hate me, and no one wants to be in my shoes
'Cause every time I play I got the rolled a one blues

When exploring a dungeon
I'll fall in a trap
If I go to the brothel
I'm gonna get the clap
Just walking down the road
Isn't safe for my dude
“You're attacked by goblins,
What do you do?”

Oh I got the rolled a one blues
Sure would be nice if I could roll at least a two
But the dice hate me, and no one wants to be in my shoes
'Cause every time I play I got the rolled a one blues

Oh I got the rolled a one blues

Yeah every time I play I got the rolled a one blues

I've got great people that are my friends
They're the ones I can call at 3am
Sometimes we fight but we always make up
Our friendship has survived every breakup
We stick together through thick and thin
My friends are my home and my home is my friends

My friends are my home, my shelter, my life
The ones that I turn to when things don't go right
Where I can return, where I'm never alone
No matter what happens, my friends are my home

They say your home is where your heart is
That's why I say my home is my friends
We've got inside jokes and stories galore
They're the best friends anyone could ask for
Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I'll always return 'cause my friends are my home

My friends are my home, my shelter, my life
The ones that I turn to when things don't go right
Where I can return, where I'm never alone
No matter what happens, my friends are my home

We've been together for so many years
We've shared so much laughter and so many tears
Encouraged each other to follow our dreams
Been there when life's fallen apart at the seams
There's no one I'd rather spend my time with
My friends are my home and my home is my friends

My friends are my home, my shelter, my life
The ones that I turn to when things don't go right
Where I can return, where I'm never alone
No matter what happens, my friends are my home

Wherever I wander, wherever I roam
I'll always return 'cause my friends are my home

My Friends Are My Home

He was just sixteen
when he found out about me
But he was so excited
he was gonna be a daddy

There's a picture of him holding me
in his high school cap and gown
And from the smile on his face
you can tell he'd never been so proud
Until you see the one
of him standing next to me
In my own cap and gown
holding my degree

The pictures tell the story
Better than my words can
Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman

There's one of him letting me
drink beer when I was two
In another he's teaching me
how to tie my shoes
Here we're blowing out the candles,
making a birthday wish
Look how thrilled he was
when I caught my first fish

The pictures tell the story
Better than my words can
Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman

Here he is walking me down the aisle
Here he is holding his first grandchild
In every picture you can tell we were so happy
And I wouldn't be who I am if that boy hadn't raised me

The pictures tell the story
Better than my words can
Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman

He was just sixteen
when he found out about me
But he was so excited
he was gonna be a daddy

Sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a woman
Yeah, sometimes it takes a boy
To raise a little girl into a woman

It Takes a Boy

You put me up on the highest shelf
But I fell off and broke myself
Now I am no longer pretty
So you have no more use for me

You threw away your broken doll
Like I have no worth at all
But I am more than my shattered parts
I have courage, strength, and heart

What's wrong with being broken?
Do I really need to be repaired?
It's okay to not know what I'm doing
It's okay to be fxxxing scared
I just need to keep going
I just need to not give in
I just need a little time
And someday I'll be whole again

Broken

Neither of us can say the words easily
But I'm standing here looking at you looking at me
I know you don't know what to say
And tomorrow there may be hell to pay
But I can't leave when I feel like this
So please just give me one kiss

Let our lips do the talking
Let our kiss say what we mean
We don't need the words
To communicate everything
One touch, one caress and love might walk in
Shut up and let our lips do the talking

They say a picture's worth a thousand words
But a kiss can say so much more
You don't know how badly I've been wanting this
So what are we waiting for?

Let our lips do the talking
Let our kiss say what we mean
We don't need the words
To communicate everything
One touch, one caress and love might walk in
Shut up and let our lips do the talking

Neither of us can say the words easily
But I'm standing here looking at you looking at me

Let our lips do the talking
Let our kiss say what we mean
We don't need the words
To communicate everything
One touch, one caress and love might walk in
Shut up and let our lips do the talking

We just might give love a chance to walk in
If we shut up and let our lips do the talking
Let our lips do the talking
Let our kiss say what we mean
We don't need the words
To communicate everything
One touch, one caress and love might walk in
Shut up and let our lips do the talking

About Me

Bio

Lyricist with no real musical talent (though I did have a triangle solo in a couple of band performances) who recently began setting the words to music via AI. I consider those demos and experiments on how the words work in different genres. I'd love to hear my lyrics set to real instruments and voices.

CV/History

I began writing in my teenage years but most of those songs are lost to the ether. I picked up my pen again in 2020 and whenever the muse strikes me. In 2025 I found an AI program where I could input my lyrics and it would create songs from them. My friends wanted to hear them, so I posted them on YouTube as the easiest way for me to share them.
