Happy birthday, I know I forgot
Did your mom say I'm working nights?
No, I know that you hear this a lot
But I promise I'll make it right
But how is school?
Do you need new shoes?
I heard you're getting taller
And I know that it feels like a while
But on Saturday morning I'm calling
Maybe I could take you to the movies You
could get some popcorn and a smoothie
Sit next to me,
oh,
cause I just wanna get to know you
And maybe I could meet you at the school gates
And take you to the park before it's too late
Is that okay?
I can explain why I'm only here sometimes
Oh, only here sometimes
Are
you eating and sleeping enough?
Is there something you love to do?
Is it easy for you to make friends?
Do you have to pretend you're cool?
Do you act like a saint?
Do you always complain?
Or drive your mother insane like me?
Do you wonder why I'm not around?
Do you even remember me?
Maybe I could take you to the movies You
could get some popcorn and a smoothie
Sit next to me,
oh,
cause I just wanna get to know you
And maybe I could meet you at the school gates
And take you to the park before it's too late
Is that okay?
I can explain why I'm only here sometimes Oh,
only here sometimes
And I know that I should be doing more And I will,
cause you deserve to know a happy home
Maybe I could take you to the movies You
could get some popcorn and a smoothie
Sit next to me,
oh,
cause I just wanna get to know you
And maybe I could meet you at the school gates
And take you to the park before it's too late
Is that okay?
I can explain why I'm only here sometimes
Oh,
I'm only here sometimes Yeah
