lyrics

cigarettes and birthday cake
it's 4 am and i am still awake again
maybe i should wash my hair
but you're asleep and i don't want to wake you again
friends are friends and you're my friend
i'll smoke you up i'll give you time to show yourself
please show yourself
cigarettes and birthday cake
it's 4 am so why am i awake

orange soda hennessy
the best part of my night is when you're next to me
crowded rooms and tv screens
these boys and girls that never even knew my name
eighteen candles and i blow
these sparks ignite and suddenly i show myself
i show myself
hide away inside my seat
the best part of my night is when i'm fast asleep

so please don't wake me
please don't wake me
please don't wake me

cigarettes and cannabis
there was a time i gave a shit
i told my mom bout boys i kissed
shaved my legs and closed my lips
but it's my birthday and i'm happy
i'm not scared so you can have me
it's my birthday i'm all right
i'm having so much fun tonight
and i can't think so i'll stop talking
i can't move so i'll stop wanting
in your bed or on your couches
looking inward falling outwards
it's my birthday you can have me
i'm not scared of being happy
it's my birthday i'm not dying
i'm just getting sick of crying

please don't wake me
