Текст песни Claire's Ninth

So she stands and waits and waits at the school gate They're late, they come, so dumb In two cars when they agreed one And it's gone wrong on her birthday So they go to Joe's for pizza and ice cream They sit and stare and Claire just wants to be 9 and a half Next year she'll 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 can't get out What's the point of this What's wrong with two birthdays It's 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 can't get to Here's the cheque They pay with two cards like they've never met Goodbyes outside; it's 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, you're all that's left It used to be our birthday too
