So she stands and waits and waits at the school gate
Theyre late, they come, so dumb
In two cars when they agreed one
And its gone wrong on her birthday
So they go to Joes for pizza and ice cream
They sit and stare and Claire just wants to be 9 and a half
Next year shell tell them she only wants world peace
But Claire, Claire baby
I wish you knew how this all got twisted
I wish you could see right inside us
In all of this stuff, the best of us that we cant get out
Whats the point of this
Whats wrong with two birthdays
Its cool at school
Her friends, they all have two birthdays
Oh geez, he just asked the waitress out on a date on her birthday
But Claire, Claire baby
I wish you knew how this all got twisted
I wish you could see right inside us
In all of this stuff, the best of us that we cant get to
Heres the cheque
They pay with two cards like theyve never met
Goodbyes outside its cold in LA
Claire, Claire baby
I wish you knew how this all got twisted
I wish you could see right inside us
The best of us for most of us
Or what we were, youre all thats left
It used to be our birthday too
