Just existing ain’t enough So when it comes to my own birthday I’ll forgo the bags of stuff For a chance to prove I’ve earned them Just a fork, a knife, and cup So I can eat my words and swallow all my pride And Newton’s first mistake Was telling me that I could drop your heart And it would never break Like an apple from a tree It might get bruised but it would take Something greater than just gravity To crack its little walls And if you give me twenty bars I’ll write a hit But give me love and I’ll mishandle it Newton’s second son Made his home there in the shadow Of the handsome older one Made an outline for a life He could be proud of when it’s done Made his name but kept it strictly to himself But soon he grew too tall For the unmoving shadow To cover much of him at all But the firstborn didn’t mind ‘Cause he was still best at basketball And he reminded him most any chance he got And you could give me peace on Earth Complete with proof You gave me love, but all I want’s the truth Newton’s third date Was with a girl he wouldn’t know he didn’t love Till far too late So I met him where desire merges with I-278 And he sat me down and gave me all his thoughts He said your birthday’s coming soon And I’d be remiss if I didn’t make some attempt At lassoing the moon Even though to these festivities You say you are immune I can’t help it, see, what else are fathers for? So he laid me down his laws So plain and clear And I just sat there fighting back the tears And he gave me all the love that I can take It seems there’s laws that even I can’t break Yes he gave me everything that I can take It seems there’s love that even I can’t break
