Endangered Birds

California's beautiful
I bet some people don't think so
I take a lap around the hotel
I take a picture of myself

You changed your hair you changed your name
Your accent, people can't quite place
Your second marriage, couple of kids
You say it isn't different, but it is

I'm peeking through the bandages
To see if I can handle it
I hope I don't remember this
I hope I don't forget again

Endangered birds, the birthday girl
Wasting wishes on this world
Remember airplane bottles in our pockets
Pissing on my only options

Now you're rubbing rosebuds in
Between your wrists
And I am an embarrassment
Shirt and tie, like pulling teeth
He's everything I'll never be

I'm peeking through the bandages
To see if I can handle it
I hope I don't remember this
I hope I don't forget again
I hope I don't forget again
I hope I don't forget again
I hope I don't forget again
