Birthday becomes a declaration of total romantic allegiance, with the speaker casting himself as protector, fighter, doorkeeper, and poet for the woman he cannot imagine life working without.

The voice is possessive, vulnerable, and theatrical at once. It is love spoken as absolute commitment, right on the edge of disappearance if that bond is not returned.

Birthday. The most beautiful woman ever to walk the Earth, Eva Gardner gets close. I am your guy, I open the door, I fight for your life, I don't give a shit about anything but you. Conditional devotion as the only kind worth writing.
