This is why we won't delay 
For your birthday 
Secrets that we held that day 
Will be kept straight 

All your friends have gone away 
So let's celebrate 
You're holding hope open for the one 
Making you wait 

[Verse 2] 
Tell me what you hope to say on your birthday 
Secrets that we held that day 
Will be kept straight 
Everyone will be dismayed 
If your promise breaks 
But you'll be back again to say 
Who you want next 
 [bad word]  
Lights and music 
Are on my mind 
Be my baby 
One more time 

Lights and music 
Are on my mind 
Be my baby 
One more time 

[Verse 3] 
Fading with the color you 
See my face 
Cold and crystal you can't hide 
As your tears race 

I'll be waiting buyin' time 
Put your dreams away 
You're holding hope open for the one 
Making you wait 
 [bad word]  
Lights and music 
Are on my mind 
Be my baby 
One more time 

Lights and music 
Are on my mind 
Be my baby 
One more time
