Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
To call you on your birthday
Well, we agreed not to talk, but I don't like it this way
Well, I've worn the shoes you are wearing
But he didn't give me the space I needed
So I grew cold as stone.
So I'm keeping my distance and I'm leaving it up to you.
Secondary sources to bring me news of you
But you're still in my drawer
They are saying time will sort this out
Every curve and bend in your name
I used to know so well
And now I couldn't say
And there are times
Times when I feel daring
I think I could talk to you
But I know that's not what we needed
Cause I grew cold as stone.
And I don't want that for you, you know.
So I'm keeping my distance and I'm leaving it up to you.
Secondary sources to bring me news of you
But you're still in my drawer
They are saying time will sort this out
I wanted to keep you
I wanted to keep you
I tried you on and now you're folded on my floor
I got an answer, not the one I was looking for
I can't wait
To call you on your birthday
In the song "Birthday" by Jillian Edwards, the singer expresses a longing to reach out to an old flame on their birthday. The lyrics reveal that the two have made a pact not to communicate, but the singer doesn't want to adhere to this agreement. She has been in a similar situation before and made the mistake of not giving her partner enough space, causing her emotions to grow cold. The singer cares for her former lover and doesn't want to repeat the same mistakes. She's keeping her distance and relying on secondary sources to keep up with their life. A poignant line in the song is, "I wanted to keep you, I tried you on, and now you're folded on my floor. I got an answer, not the one I was looking for." This line conveys the sense of finality and regret of past loves.
The song captures the bittersweet sadness that can come with the end of a relationship. There is a desire to hold onto a connection, even when it's no longer healthy or possible. Even though the singer longs to reach out, she is aware that it's not the best decision for either of them. The song's melody is calm and evocative, adding to the reflective nature of the lyrics.
