Bird

And now I finally know what I’ve been told
Is like a bird in me
Flutters with extra wings, and walks on strings
Making a plan to get free

I want to know you
We are forever
Where are you hiding?

Under the warm light
Stuck in a big sky
Are you deciding to go back round?

We are forever
We are always now

You’ll find me on the outside
Waiting in light
And I’ll hold on to you
And I’ll hold on to you

Count all your little limbs and then I’ll binge
While my brain breaks down
Stolen in part by you, what can I do?
As I wait for sound

I want to hear you
Over my big bones
Echo the water

Come out and show me
Your jealous temper
Just like your father
you’ll calm right down

We are forever
We are always now

You’ll find me on the outside
Waiting in light
And I’ll hold on to you
And I’ll hold on to you

One day we won’t be here
And things will change
You’ll hate me
You’ll move on so far away
But I won’t unlove you
I’ll stay the same
You are the wild one
You won’t be blamed.
