Bird On a Wire

Buried alive and about to burst
Why am I surprised when I'm so well rehearsed
I'm getting tired and I'm dying of thirst
I keep turning the dial but the tape is stuck in reverse
It's taking a while and it's only getting worse

And I don't know where I fit in
I know how the story goes
I just don't know how it ends
This is all I've ever known
And it's all I've ever done

I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun

Leading the blind when the lines are blurred
On borrowed time, living word to word
Sometimes it fine but sometimes it really hurts

It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
Far away, if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay

And I don't know where I fit in
I know how the story goes
I just don't know how it ends
This is all I've ever known
And it's all I've ever done
I'm a bird on a wire, just like everyone
A bird on a wire and I'm tired of facing the sun

It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
Far away, if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay

It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
Far away, if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
It's okay if I want to run (A bird on a wire)
It's okay, it's okay, it's okay

It's all I've ever known (It's all I've ever known)
And all I've ever done
