Lyrics Birthday Girl - Alva Leigh

Scene shot in slow motion
A circle of eyes
The weight of attention
When the ribbons are tied

Peel back the paper
You're trapped in their moment
Anticipating the

Birthday Girl
Birthday Girl
Birthday
We light the candle to watch it go out
Where does the magic go?

A glow on the surface
What's growing inside
The attraction of newness
The promise of life

Take what you're given
Forget what you wanted
Holding a mirror
To all of their choices

Birthday Girl
Birthday Girl
Birthday
We light the candle to watch it go out
Where does the magic go?

After the party they all go home
Your back to the door feel the silence grow
Nobody tells you how you will cope
After the magic goes
Where does the magic go
