"Birthday" lyrics - THE LUMINEERS

I didn't know I was the only thing you saw
Your eyes were blue
I don't know why I couldn't love myself
But you needed proof

[Pre-Chorus:]
You and me, we'll always be the ones to hang around
I can see the loneliness you keep outside

[Chorus:]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear
It's alright, it's alright, and we will carry on
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday
Every word, every word
And we will sing it along

Over and over
I can only scream so loud, but you ignored me
You picked it up - You picked it up all apart
And, now, there's nothing for me

[Pre-Chorus:]
We gather around
Your house burned down
As you held a garden hose
(Aah-ah, aah-ah)
You and me, we'll always be the ones to hang around

[Chorus:]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (Alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we will carry on
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (Ooh-oh)
Every word, every word
And we will sing it along

[Bridge:]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear
It's alright, it's okay, and we will sing it along

[Chorus:]
It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (Alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we will carry on (It's okay)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (Alright)
Every word, every word
And we will sing it along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (Alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we will carry on (It's alright)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (Alright)
Every word, every word
We will sing it along

It's alright, it's alright, it's alright
It's your birthday, dear (Alright)
It's alright, it's okay, and we will carry on (It's okay)
And you know, and you know, and you know
It's your birthday (Alright)
Every word, every word
We will sing it along
