Sangtekst: Phish. Joy. Backwards Down the Number Line.

Happy, happy, oh my friend
Blow out candles once again
Leave the presents all inside
Take my hand and let's take a ride

Backwards down the number line
You were eight and I was nine
Do you know what happened then?
Do you know why we're still friends?

Laughing all these many years
We've pushed through hardships, tasted tears
Made a promise one to keep
I can still recite it in my sleep

Every time a birthday comes
Call your friend and sing a song
Or whisper it in to his ears
Or write it down, just don't miss a year

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins

And when I see you coming down the line with eyes wide open
Somewhere in between the passing future where you drift in time
And you can see a different point of view

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
Happy, happy, oh my friend

You decide what it contains
How long it goes but this remains
The only rule is it begins
