Happy Birthday to My Loose Aquaintance Songtext
von Garfunkel and Oates

I wouldn′t have known any other way
Cause we co-exist in a mutually unstated
So I got ten seconds and they're just for you
To write on your wall like good people do
To keep our weak social tie with minimal maintenance
Happy Birthday to my loose acquaintance
Look through my photo album, you′re not in it
If I saw you on the street, it would take me a minute
But I'm such a thoughtful person and I totally care
That's why there are three exclamation points there


Colon parenthesis to be more compelling
All caps so it′s just like I′m yelling
From the top of my heart, just to keep status quo
Happy Birthday, dear person, who I sorta know
We both know you're not my real friend
You′re a by-product of a social networking trend
But you feel just as indifferently about me
So there's no guilt in our apathetic reciprocity
So if we don′t talk much or at all this year
Remember I sent you this afterthought cheer
To keep our minor affinity with minimal maintenance
Happy Birthday to my loose acquaintance
