Exotic Bird

I hear your name
I don’t know who’s singing it outside my window
Every morning, when I wake
First thing in the morning

I see your face
I don’t know who’s dragging you around everywhere I go
Exotic Bird perched on my shoulder

I don’t know who / I shouldn’t feel these things at all
I don’t know who / I shouldn’t answer when you call
I don’t know who / why do I open up my hand
I don’t know who / for you to land on?

Your name excites me
It’s the way the letters sing so well together
I hear it and my heart starts to remember

I don’t know who / I know that all birds have a call
I don’t know who / I shouldn’t feel these things at all
I don’t know who / why do I open up my hand
I don’t know who / for you to land on?
I don’t know who / Exotic Bird
I don’t know who / Exotic Bird
I don’t know who

Letters in my inbox
Calls on my landline
Drives through the canyon
Falling at the wrong time

Oh (e) we both (x) have (o) love (t) more (i) than (c) enough (b) of (i)
Oh (r) we both (d) have (e) love (x) more (o) than enough (t) of (i) (c)
But ‘if I needed someone to love’ . .

I don’t know who, but someone drew
A hot bath the day we met
And it hasn’t cooled yet
