Happy Birthday Girl Lyrics

Looking for something to pass on through
Searching for something to say to you
Even though everything has been said
Somehow there's still something left to add

And while the satellite's asleep
Somewhere it's midnight out there
And while I'm barking at the moon
You sing your heart out to a tune
Hoping you'll never grow old
Hoping you'll never grow old

I know it may take some time
To get this day off your mind

Sifting through all the remaining files
Counting down all the remaining miles
Drifting off into a different night
Paralyzed by all the warning lights

Waking the patient satellites
Sleepy benevolent eyes
Heavily drunk on distant love
They never once misplaced a call
I hope they never grow old

I know it may take some time
To get this day off your mind
I know it may take some time
To get this day off your mind

Happy Birthday girl ,I miss you
Happy Birthday girl, I miss you
Happy Birthday girl, I miss you
Happy Birthday girl, I miss you

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

I thought this song showed Sondre's potential interest in shoegaze ... especially the droning guitars at the end. Very atypical for him, but great nonetheless.

I always feel like I have to stop this song before it ends, or it leaves me with nothing. This song is a heavy blow.

One of my favorite songs. A heavy blow at the end, indeed. I'm usually pretty speechless afterwards.
